What happened to all the shock websites? I tried to revisit some, and they are all gone.

    What happened was centralisation.

    We moved from a web made up of lots of tiny websites hosted by individuals, to one of corporate-contolled mainstream social media.

    And yes - those sites don't want any objectionable content because that's not good for revenue.

    It's censorship, but only made possible because we all collectively decided we would spend our entire Internet browsing time on the same five massive websites, and let them control what we see.
