Then: people on the internet were mostly technically adept and creating webpages because they enjoyed them.

Now: people on the internet are mostly ad tech attention economy scams and creating LLM spam blogs for PPC revenue.

It's just easier now for a conspiracy loon to find something that matches their preconceived biases.
