As in, “extinct charismatic megawebsites such as Geocities”; and

“Concern has increased that Tumblr will soon be categorized as a Critically Endangered Charismatic Megawebsite in this year’s annual UNESCO session on digital culture, marking an escalation from its categorization in 2017 as an Endangered Charismatic Megawebsite following parent company Yahoo!’s acquisition by Verizon Media.”
