=== Expansion Beyond YouTube, Dark Age and Ninth Generation (2023-present) ===

After the Eighth Generation ended on a sour note, it seemed like 2023 and the Ninth Generation would bring more of the same if not worse. Tracle had initiated its aforementioned site-wide ban on Barney Bunch/Speakonia content, giving its members a deadline to remove their videos before the staff would do it themselves (though by that point the community had already jumped ship following the skirmish the past October). Fandom had begun purging any Wikis relating to the Barney Bunch, including the Speakonia Community Wiki. YouTube was still age-restricting both new and older uploads, with a CEO change seeming to not help matters. The community experienced the tragic loss of another veteran member with dildosdildo123, who passed away in April after a battle with cancer. Many of the key players who helped spearhead the Eighth Generation, including [[RoboticBloxxer]], [[IronYoshi1212 Productions|IronYoshi]], and [[DrewPicklesTheDark]], had either became significantly less active or decided to retire for the time being. Despite this, the community still marched forward. The Tracle ban initiated a desire to seek out more alternatives, with [[Internet Archive]], Odysee, and Rumble being the top picks, as well as some members trying to station themselves on past sites like [[Dailymotion]] and [[Newsgrounds]] with little success. Some users would be ousted for allegations such as [[Sonulianic]] and [[SpaceVoyager1701]] being ousted for sexual allegations involving sexual harassment and grooming minors. Some members were ousted for terrible political opinions or drams such as BakaSurvior101 for beefing many users and believing death threats not an big deal and cam be ignored. Those in turn caused members such as [[Michael of Random]] to either stop doing Speakonka Videos or leave the community altogether.
