Is 2010 a good starting date?
[edit]I am thinking the retail apocalypse could have started around the year 2008 as an effect of the Great Recession. However, 2010 could be a good date because of the rise of social media around that time and broadband internet connections have become standardized for almost everyone during that time, making e-commerce more mainstream. I think I am leaning towards 2008. Maybe this starting date could be something to look into? 47.12.180.193 (talk) 06:46, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- The current "beginning around 2010" certainly doesn't seem to be supported by the sources. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/04/retail-meltdown-of-2017/522384/ only uses the year as a benchmark ("Between 2010 and last year") and https://www.businessinsider.com/store-closures-in-2018-will-eclipse-2017-2018-1 doesn't mention it.
