It probably died off for that reason. Not enough food to go around. Like the land version of a megalodon

if this had to move so slow because of its size, how in the world would it have a weaponized tail? if he could swing it fast enough to be a weapon, than he wasnt that slow moving, or if he was it would cause him to fall over, invoking death.
i have a hard time believing some of the things these people come up with as explanations.

Of course.
Just because it's the hardest mineral doesn't mean it can be broken. I think they can break if you drop them. Being the hardest mineral means that you have very strong bonds on the molecular scale. After all, how do you think they cut facets diamonds?
And diamond itself isn't "forever". It's unstable at Earth's surface. Given a few millenia, and that diamond will be graphite.

There are people that come up with some fantastical theories about how dinosaurs lived...they are working theories that get the most press, but really aren't feasible.
Doesn't mean there's not evidence of something...the interpretation just may be too grand.
Some scientists think the large dinosaurs had "gigantothermy" it's cold-blooded with being really big so it's easy to thermo regulate. Like a bucket of water in the Sun stays cool for along time because there's so much water...then over time gets warm. As night approaches it stays warm because there's so much water in it. That's gigantothermy.

This is obviously fake. Everyone knows the earth is only 6000 years old.

It's counter intuitive to think that evolution allowed an animal to grow to such a size that it died if it fell over.

It's not forever either. It'd flake so much it would slide right off her finger.

All these ideas have been around for decades.

I watched a show the other day that addressed your question. It asserted that a herd of 30 ton Sauropods would require about one acre per Sauropod, per day.

Exactly. There are a lot of odd conclusions here.
When did paleontologists become so infallible?
