A lot of those pure places to share are all still there. They just don't pay Google to be in the centralised Internet club and somewhat stay in the shadows to avoid being bombarded with litigation bs.
Becoming mainstream is usually a death sentence for any platform.
Anyone from the old school Internet knows that Twitter, Youtube, Reddit etc are just processed food. It's all heavily curated by some model that has been trained on keeping you there and adhering to a strict agenda.
You know what the real Internet is like, these platforms are not it.

Moderation falls and before you know it the original audience has been drowned out, what made it good is a distant memory. Very few are able to resist, only "ask historians" comes to mind.
