This comes up frequently on HN and it isn't true. The internet has many more users than back then. You can still find your weird niche on the internet today. Just posted today, private blogs of HN users: https://dm.hn/ https://dm.hn/ A weird search engine which skips a lot of corporate crap: https://search.marginalia.nu/ https://search.marginalia.nu/ Or skip the first million search results: https://millionshort.com/ https://millionshort.com/ Then there's neocities, weird subreddits, 4chan, niche forums still running on phpBB discussing all kinds of stuff. You seem to expect that niche communities should've scaled with the rest of the internet. Like, back then, there were a few million people online. Now it's billions, but the few millions still online in their niches aren't interesting enough for you. Why?
