I watch a lot of Dead Mall videos on YouTube and I wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts are on why there’s so many dead malls now.

    Malls were being killed by big box complexes before Amazon was prevalent, but the one-two punch didn’t do them any favors.

    I see it as a combination of things…

    Big box retailers.
    Online sales.
    People stopped going to movie theaters.

    So what’s the reason to go to a mall? Crappy food court food?

      Paradoxically, I would still go to movies if they were willing to kick people out for using their phone once during the film. There’s only one theater in my area that’s strict like that.
