During the early 2000s, ''Newgrounds'' was a popular platform for sharing user-generated content (mainly created with [[Adobe Flash]] plugin). Flash animation was the medium of choice for creating and uploading videos, including screamers.

Some of the early screamers on ''Newgrounds'' included [[Where's Waldo?]], which appeared to be a simple game but would eventually reveal a terrifying image of the girl from The Ring accompanied by a loud scream. As the popularity of screamers grew on ''Newgrounds'', some users began to create more elaborate and disturbing content. This led to a backlash from the ''Newgrounds'' community, with many users calling for the removal of screamers and other disturbing content. In response, ''Newgrounds'' implemented stricter content guidelines and moderation policies to ensure that its platform remained a safe and enjoyable place for users to share their creations. <!--- that's the best i could explain about websites banning tons of screamers; therefore, i should write them in a neutral point of view ---> | ||
