You may want to give “HAM radio forums” a Google.

I don’t care if you agree. I care what’s correct. The Internet is many times larger than I was 20+ years ago, and all the same free networks exist. The really popular ones got big and monetized.

That’s just how success works with anything.

Hmm? Your argument and thinking processes both seem clouded.

Ham radio forums still exist, as they previously did. Did you miss the gist, that information exchange was more of a prime focus vs making money by cramming ads everywhere? Obviously yes.

Except it isn’t, and all those resources exist for free.

The Internet was once a niche space as a whole and now it is a large, omnipresent space with more niche spaces than before

It’s really not complicated. This is just Boomer Humor for millennials.

Very nice, would you like a cookie? Now that your hangry has been settled, try clarifying your murky premise again.

Mine is that the ratio of websites that freely shared info vs those that did so with an underlying goal of making revenue by advertising was very large vs very small.

“Boomer humor for millennials”? I’m laughing, but not for the reason you’d hoped for.
