DeGrippo reportedly "came to hate" Encyclopedia Dramatica.{{sfn|Stryker|2011|p=142}} She had hoped that ED would return to its roots and focus on LiveJournal drama.{{sfn|Stryker|2011|p=141}} Furthermore, according to her, Encyclopedia Dramatica never turned a profit during the time she owned it due to its content which put off advertisers.{{sfn|Stryker|2011|p=¶12.31}}

On April 14, 2011, the [[URL]] encyclopediadramatica.com was redirected to "Oh Internet",<ref name="msnbc" /> an entirely different [[safe-for-work]] website that DeGrippo had created.<ref name="msnbc" /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.inquisitr.com/104161/encyclopedia-dramatica-gone-for-good/ |title=Encyclopedia Dramatica gone for good |first=Kim |last=LaCapria |date=April 15, 2011 |work=The Inquisitr |access-date=May 28, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110419190246/http://www.inquisitr.com/104161/encyclopedia-dramatica-gone-for-good/ |archive-date=April 19, 2011 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The name "Oh Internet" is meant to convey "Oh, Internet, you are so crazy!"{{sfn|Stryker|2011|p=142}} DeGrippo stated that "Shock for shock's sake is old at this point [...] ." Some regular users of Encyclopedia Dramatica were displeased by the change and attacked the website's official [[Facebook]] fan page<ref name="gos" /> with "hate messages and pornography".<ref name="msnbc" />

In a question and answer session at the [[ROFLCon]] summit in October 2011, DeGrippo was asked why Encyclopedia Dramatica was closed and replaced with Oh Internet. She replied: "We were unable to stop the degradation of the content. It just kept getting longer and longer and dumber and dumber and less and less coherent over time."<ref>{{cite AV media | date =November 11, 2011 | title =ROFLCon Summit – Internet Underground – Part 2 | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfQBN9oGAxI | access-date = November 16, 2011 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160504061239/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfQBN9oGAxI| time = 1:47  | archive-date =May 4, 2016 | publisher = ROFLCONsummit | via = [[YouTube]]}} {{Dead link|date=February 2020}}</ref> She also explained why she had not released the site as an archive, saying that she "didn't want to", and suggesting that this would have made her personally responsible for any [[Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA]] and privacy violations that it contained.<ref>{{cite AV media | date =November 11, 2011 | title =ROFLCon Summit – Internet Underground – Part 3 | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhjtocipcRU | access-date = November 16, 2011 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160522085723/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhjtocipcRU | archive-date =May 22, 2016 | publisher = ROFLCONsummit | time =4:41 | via = [[YouTube]]}} {{Dead link|date=February 2020}}</ref> She also stated that hosting Encyclopedia Dramatica caused her to have troubles involving the [[FBI]].<ref>{{cite AV media | date =November 11, 2011 | title =ROFLCon Summit – Internet Underground – Part 4 | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R_xl2onS24 | access-date = February 18, 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120811141330/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R_xl2onS24 | archive-date =August 11, 2012 | publisher = ROFLCONsummit | time = 0:31  | via = [[YouTube]]}} {{Dead link|date=February 2020}}</ref>
