Here's the thing about cancer on any given forum or *chan.
Its dependent on the internet around it , at the time in the mid 2000s there wasn't much web 2.0 bullshit to attract all the NORPs.
Facebook wasn't prolific yet , leddit was still riding the coattails of Digg , twitter wasn't around yet ect.
It was just matter of fact that there are more normalfags on the internet by proportion now then there were 10 years ago , so a lot of shit is going to regress to the mean in terms of demand especially if someone can make it profitable.
