does anyone know what happened to shockchan? i know the creators sold the domain but it wasn't really that dead and their other sites are still up
 
Why did everyone here visit a shock site at least once in their life. I've never done this before man
They spread via word of mouth, I fell for a bunch of them in Primary School due to people finding them through YouTubers at the time and finding them fucking hilarious.
 
They are alright, but they have super faggy communities that probably get off to gore like the jartycucks they are
 
I browsed /r/watchpeopledie and bestgore when I was younger, don't know why.

I used to be proud of having a really old bestgore.fun account but then they started doing fed P2P stuff. Everyone on there now is an attention whoring woman or a ukro war extremist trying to outspam gore of the other side

Trvthnvke.
shock sites are dead now because you can just send people videos now. A lot of the really popular ones are gifs because their filesize were small enough to be emailed
They died with the smartphone age so yeah.
Shock shit is still pretty prominent here doe, at worse levels. My little brother had saved a gore sticker of a mutilated woman who one of his classmates sent at their group, and they're 10.
And also because of spic countries barely reinforcing online laws shock content also includes people sharing illegal shit freely. Apparently they're running blackmail scams now on WhatsApp where they send random people DD and then harass the person from different numbers.
 
It was funny to show them to your friends in middle school. That's about the only time it was useful or interesting to me.
 
I used to administrate Screamer Wiki so I unfortunately know a thing or two about shock sites.
 
When I was 12 (so, 2007), I actually operated a massive list of shock sites on a now-defunct site called BluWiki.

Once upon a time, in ye olden days of the internet - before even 4chan - the most influential sites for internet culture and memes (along with the main hubs for trolling) were Something Awful, Fark, Newgrounds, and Slashdot. Slashdot had such a huge problem with trolls - especially with trolls tricking people into clicking hyperlinks to shock sites - that they had to implement a new measure whereby any hyperlink would automatically display the URL of the site that it was linking to, making it much harder for trolls to sneak in links to Goatse, Tubgirl, Meatspin, Hai2u, Last Measure, and so forth. I think Something Awful, Fark, Newgrounds, and Slashdot are all technically still in operation, but hardly anyone actually goes there anymore. Shock sites have largely faded away as well. It's been years and years since trolls were tricking people into clicking on links to pictures of gaping assholes. Juvenile pranks like that (which is primarily what I was doing as a preteen on sites like YTMND and Gaia Online) used to be the driving force behind internet trolling, but today's internet trolls overwhelmingly tend to be much more extreme and usually have some far-right political ideology driving them, hence the emergence of the alt-right from the various fevered swamps of the internet. Back in the '90s and early '00s, however, it would have been downright unheard-of for an internet troll to be trolling on behalf of fascism; the internet counterculture had an overwhelmingly libertarian and generally left-libertarian leaning, with the internet essentially being treated like the wild west and viewed as a new frontier for freedom that normies hadn't yet ruined with their crippling laws and regulations. Honestly, I do miss the old days of the internet, when it was a much more niche thing that not everyone had. Internet culture was very different then, when the internet was largely dominated by nerds and outcasts and any attempt to change that was fought tooth-and-nail.
