1993 -- 25 years ago -- was an experimental time for the Internet.
The only competition they had was other pioneers slitting their own throats because that's how you got recognized on this new-fangled World Wide Web.
A lot of newspapers thought they could sell ad space against their Internet properties for at least as much as they were selling their newspaper-based classified ads. That was obviously not the case.
I appreciate that you think the WWW has always had the power it does now, but back in '93 it was a niche in the multiple ways a content provider had to distribute their wares.
