I think it has less to do with corporations, and more to do with youth culture and us getting old. The internet has more on it than ever, you just need to know where to look. Yes, Newgrounds is dead, but big YouTube animators still exist, and there are still indie game communities like itch.io. But just like my Dad was uninterested in my video games, I find myself uninterested in the stuff kids do these days. I think there is just a nostalgia factor that draws us to stuff like Nekoweb.

Yes, there is a nostalgia factor, but the twist of fate is that it is nostalgia for things I never had. I was never on myspace or geocities or my regional equivalent skyblog. And yet I am nostalgic for it, because the current modern alternatives are profiles on social media.
