Appreciate the point, and that ads ruin everything. But get away from the endless promotion of 'big name' sites and there is still a lot of fun&weird going on on the net.
Just one example: 'Tumbler' isn't mentioned a lot anymore. But fun abides.
It's not hard to get caught up in the big names, all echo'd by all the wannabees. It's a lot like the rest of mainstream culture. Fun's in the subcultures. As true now as all thru the rock era.
EDIT: Wanna try a fun experiment? Limit all profitable enterprises (including advertising) to one or two domains, say .com or .biz . Watch what happens to those over time.
