"Berlin clubs are closing soon!" has been, for a long time, a staple of journalists desperate to get some views. They just play on readers' emotions.

For a while the pretext was "neighbors are complaining about noise", but that got yanked by new regulations (i.e. making clubs "places of high culture" so they can't be attacked easily).

Now it's about declining revenue, yet clubs are still full. What will be next?
