FYI: Wikispaces is a wiki hosting service based in San Francisco, California. Launched by Tangient LLC in March 2005, Wikispaces was purchased by TSL Education in March 2014. It competes with PBworks, Wetpaint, Wikia, and Google Sites (formerly JotSpot). It was among the largest wiki hosts.[Wikipedia]

It was a paid-for service, run into the ground with technical debt to the point where it's an economic write-off? Is someone at TSL Education going to be sweating about the due diligence they should have done?

Read the article : it was a trade off. Paying the technical debt when designing the tool would simply have made them fail far faster.

Having this tool, correctly designed, was too expensive and not worth what people were willing to pay for it. We still had the tool because it was hacked together.
