I once saw a picture of two maps, like the one in the picture related, but one was of 2007 and the other one was from 2015 or 2016. The map of 2007 was very even, the most visited sites didn't concentrate all of the traffic and the traffic was very diverse, while the latest one was just like this picture, google, youtube and social media taking all of the internet visits while the rest of the internet was dead.
I can't find that picture anymore, unfortunately.

The near death of the forum format is sad. They used to be great to post about hobbies and interests and each one seemed like a thing of its own, with its own people and culture. Nowadays they became reddit subs, discord channels and maybe facebook groups.
What did kill them? People just migrated to other sites due to laziness of maintaining a website? Or was it the costs getting higher with more people visiting?
