Honestly why hasn't there been a flash-like competitor or alternative that has filled the gap of creatives being able to quickly produce content and distribute it easily on the internet? I think the HTML5 folks envisioned and being all you need for interactive stuff, but that hasn't really come to fruition. For animated content, is it perhaps YouTube that took over?

Aw. They dropped all the adult games, though. They seem to be using Ruffle, the Flash emulator written in Rust which runs in WebAssembly. (Flash was a good product in its day. Perhaps better than HTML/CSS/Javascript.)

There is, it's called Adobe Animate, its what they rebranded Flash as, it's literally the same thing. It exports straight to Canvas and WebGL using the create.js libraries. [0]
Basically the online advertising space had a collective heart attack when Flash was suddenly deprecated because they used Flash for all their banner animations. Adobe tried to replace Flash with Edge [1], which was one of the slowest and buggiest program I ever used. It didn't last long.

It's probably because of referrers, opened it in an incognito window and it worked just fine.
This is the page I was referring to. Looks like the nonprofit involved might not still be around?
