It was expensive too. I remember spending $500 on a single hard drive - and getting a free "zipp drive" along with it.
These days... People who couldn't program the time on their VCR twenty years ago can build a website on their cell phone with little effort.
It's gotten too easy.

The problem with the Internet is people who could do the "design, build, maintain a computer, build a website (leaning HTML, server management), get the traffic, then do the marketing, and then handle the affiliates" thought they were skilled pornographers.
Owning the right camera doesn't mean one can shoot content that will convert surfers. Same as owning the right computer doesn't mean you can use it.
