What's wrong with Typepad's decision to close down by september 30 and how to fix it

 Typepad's decision to close down by september 30, announced via email to its users on August 27 remains largely as of today under the radar of the media mainstream or else. They do need some time to eventually do some digging, find out who were/are the decision makers, what were their motivations. Wikipedia has already updated tyypepad's profile, only mentioning at the end september 30.

What's wrong with this decision? First it's abruptness: many people (by the way how many people are still using Typepad and are going to be impacted?), all users are faced with a very short deadline to export their content into another system, if they want not to see it disappear. What would have prevented Typepad to provide a much longer warning, like several months or a year and help users with their transition?

The way the decision was announced seems to justify the feeling that the Typepad owners did not care one bit about their users, contrary to their claims of only having the most respect for them :(

Therefore it would really be interesting to get to the roots of this decision to eventually put the blame where it is deserved and/or open opportunities to revisit it and fix it, make it better, for everybody. I mean, after 22 years of posting, not any type of celebration, not any funeral arrangement: are the VCs who apparently are the above owners, so afraid of their own death, are they so devoid of any empathy for all the suckers who used their service for so many years, are they so disdainful of the content posted that they don't care of eveb the most minimal inventory? Isn't there any student or even university professor who would be interested in looking a bit at all this enormous amount of data that is going to go directly into the digital garbage? 

Got to go but I'll return soon with suggestions for a decent farewell to Typepad and supportive measures for it's users.

PS: when I asked the people at Typepad who very nicely provide help, here is the answer I got:

We understand your frustration and outrage.

To address your questions, we have not been given clearance to discuss
any particulars about Typepad, its user base, the decision process, or
the status of our positions.

We'll continue providing support to our users, as we have for over 20
years, until its last day. Thank you for being a user for nearly all of
it.

Sincerely,
