Found a dead link from a 2011 blog post that redirects to a gambling site now
Was looking up old recipe for my grandma's casserole and clicked a link from a food blogger I used to follow. The URL still works but it just forwards you to some shady online casino now. Has anyone else run into old bookmarks that got hijacked like that?

Happened to a buddy of mine who saved a link to a DIY guitar tutorial from 2009. He clicked it last month and it took him straight to some weird crypto gambling site. The whole thing was just a generic landing page for some online casino, nothing left of the original video. He was SO mad because he wanted to learn that one chord progression again.

No way, @grace565. A 2009 guitar tutorial? That's ancient internet gold right there. I can't believe the domain just got totally squatted on by some crypto scam site. Those old school forums and personal pages are getting nuked left and right, it's a shame.
