Where have all the Jehovah's Witnesses gone?

I haven't seen them at my door seems like forever. And aluminum siding people, too. No encyclopedia salesmen either.

Who else used to ring the doorbell but seems to have vanished into thin air?

JWs are no longer required to go door to door proseletysing, but are now allowed to set up a stand with their literature in a public space and wait for people to show an interest. At least that is what happens in my town. The stand is set up and, a bit like a spider, if someone stops to look, the people emerge from a nearby doorway or rise from a bench where they have been having a nice chat and sell their ideas. I am happy for a bone fide follower of this cult to correct me.

@FreddieUK Rather they do it this way, to be honest.

@iamthe99 Agreed, We're all spared the embarrassment of a door slamming shut, whichever side you're on.
