I'm not really the boomer obsessed with intergenerational clash that the post is obviously baiting, but the ratio of somewhat passionate and proactive hobbyists to completely passive consumers was unironically different back in the day.

Even the most dedicated modern hobbyists tend to lean towards monetization in general, therefore favoring quantity over quality for their "content"; this was hardly ever the case with FAQ and shrine creators in the late 1990s and early 2000s simply because there was no platform to do that efficiently.
