On February 16 2022, Kekma.net reached 30 million visits, and the creator removed all shocking content from the site, after three years of operation. The site now shows a message explaining that the site had served it's purpose, which was to study how a shock site can spread across the world with no advertising budget in the modern internet era. The creator encourages people to make their own website to replace Kekma.net. Despite the shutdown of Kekma.net, the two community websites, stumpgrinder.info and tube.kekmahub.com remain active. | On February 16 2022, Kekma.net reached 30 million visits, and the creator removed all shocking content from the site, after three years of operation.
