And that is primarly because of the internet at the time
Access to the internet up to the late 2000" was severely restricted by several gatekeeping mechanics, you needed a desktop computer, you needed physical space to put it somewhere, you needed to actually know how to use it, have money for the internet subscription that wasn't cheap at the time, and most importantly, you needed to be curious enough to enter this world yourself since it was not actively shilled at the time.
All those limiting factors created a world that pretty much was a cyber ethnostate consisting of only the top 20/30% of rich white nations, as widespread internet access was virtually innexistant in the third world in the mid 2000.
tldr : old internet good because no poor stupid tech illiterate normies on the internet
