A related problem is old URLs which still exist but have different, unrelated content now.

That's a problem within AMZ now. A vendor will discontinue a product and substitute another --sometimes similar, but often not related-- product. I come across this when I go to 'buy again' from past orders.

I'm surprised the numbers are that low.
What happened in 2017? Is that just sampling error?
