> it's a lot more difficult today to make a professional looking 'modern' website than it was 20 years ago STRONGLY disagree. Wordpress is plenty professional looking and modern, and makes it dead simple to find a hosting service, create a site, choose a theme, and start writing content.

From the technical end, absolutely, way easier. From the design end, definitely not. Compare Nintendo's website in 2002[0] and today. Blue's News hasn't really changed layout in a long time and it looks substantially different than a more modern style like IGN which is much more difficult to reproduce. I can take a video with my phone and upload it to YouTube from my phone. My phone camera can work surprisingly well in poor lighting conditions. I can spend < $100 dollars and get a couple of cheap ring lights and improve the lighting massively. If I wanted to make a spoof news show, I'd just need OBS and a good webcam or a cheap DSLR now. Way easier than in 2002 where I'd need a Video Toaster and tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment.
