The web around the late 90s and early 2000s had some really sketchy stuff. I think the difference is that it used to be the sleazy underbelly. Now it's accepted as mainstream.

My local 'newspaper' website is chock full of scam adverts. The print version is dignified. The website people, somehow, turn a blind eye.

And I got an advert on Youtube this week using sexually explicit language to sell pills.

Feels like standards, and expectations, have really slipped.
