and, livejournal.com is still around.

single-handedly financed by ad revenue from people refreshing GRRM's not-blog for updates on the Winds of Winter

That moved to a wordpress site in 2018. See https://grrm.livejournal.com/ and https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/

Just went there to check it out, it opened the front page in Russian(?) for me, even though English was selected in the top right. I re-selected English, it refreshed the page... in Russian. Close tab.

Livejournal is owned by Russian company now ("Rambler Media Group").
