TIL Newgrounds still exists.
Not only does it still exist, newgrounds is unique in that it is a long-running website from the early days that is still being run by the same person (never bought out or sold), still has no ads (despite funding issues), still has the same basic focus, still hosting the same content, and is still more or less exactly the same despite some UI changes.
Granted part of that is there hasn't been any real pressure on it, but still.
Genuinely, it is the kind of thing that I would want to put behind glass, because it is an abnormality in this wasteland we call the internet. It's this beautiful little corner that has been allowed to remain as it is, unmolested by the terrible bullshit around it.
It's feels like it's the only site where the algorithm doesn't kill animators.
Shit, am I about to become a newgrounds user again after like 15 years?
I assume the success of Friday Night Funkin' gave it some extra life.
There's also a lot of porn
Friday Night Fuckin' as well, then
