- serf 7y ago>Was it easier back then though? I don't think it was easier, but there was less pressure to get it right, so the barrier to entry was lessened. Now one has to worry (they had to worry then, it just wasnt as publicly well known or visible) about accessibility, identity theft, domain theft, natonal and specific laws that must be worked around, scams, marketing, lawsuits, etc. Back then you'd just throw up your geocities site about (Fox owned) X-files Scully fan-fic and be on your merry way; now you have to worry about an ad somewhere generating revenue from you having had posted Scullys' face, prompting a foreign script-kiddy to harass you with threats of legal tattling if you don't pay his bitcoin ransom, and when that's all done you receive a DMCA complaint from Fox to forward the revenue or take down Scullys' face, anyway. One can see why domain experts are more prevalent now. There's a lot more ways to shoot yourself in the foot. Website creator suites have just about always existed, well at least since the internet had any level of popularity, anyway.
