No, it hasn't. The small web is quite healthy to this day. I haven't heard anyone who actually runs services like this complain about any of the problems you suggest.

Those problems only happen to large entities. There's simply nothing to gain from DDoSing frankshobbytrainsandflowers.com other than sheer malice, and then it only lasts for as long as you care to spend resources. Frank won't care and likely won't notice if his website is unreachable for any length of time.

Conflating the small web with enterprise problems is an extremely ignorant take.

Besides, the single biggest threat today is not some motivated attacker trying to deprive you of your three visitors a week, the threat is gigacorps exploiting the public commons with reckless abandon. The only thing small web admins are actually concerned about is LLM scrapers.

You should try actually talking to small web admins before spouting off nonsense like this.

You should trying being a small web admin from around '95 to 2018 then. It was not rare for some random small site we were hosting, thats not infected with anything, to start getting flooded with 10mb+ of traffic for no apparent reason.
