A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.
The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.
90s script kiddie here - a bunch of the shit you can do as a minor with low/no consequences becomes SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS as an adult with assets. It’s just not worth the risk to keep dicking around with things that might land you in prison or cost you everything you have.
I think the serious ones that didn’t get caught are now working in red team penetration testing, which is an industry that’s been growing exponentially since the years Anonymous did a lot of their big stuff
What about them? Pffft…dude, they’d rather make fun of lolcows all day and pretend that they’re still in their edgy teenage years where worshiping Hitler and dropping the N word was the coolest thing to do to them.

This is the truest answer thus far.
The delicious irony is that they now get to live in the world they helped create.

Omg LOIC… I was trying to think of that name a few weeks ago and just couldn’t remember. That was fun.
I think they prefer to stay without a name.
Oh man I forgot about LOIC haha. Did that actually do anything?
It pioneered DDoS attacks so, uh, yeah
Where did they get the name LOIC from in the first place?
The only place I am aware of, that uses this name, was the Unreal Tournament 2004.
I think you’ve found your answer.
What about Kiwi Farms?
They shrunk their breakfast sausage product line and focus on grass fed meats.
