Probably true. The only Internet had a great filter. You needed to have money, technical know-how, and a great deal of openness and vision to do anything on the Internet, especially publishing anything there. Nowadays, there is no more filter, neither for access to the Internet, nor for publishing on it. Also, getting people to pay you money is now a proven concept on the Internet. Whereas, in the early days, not only where there few options for taking payments or for monetizing content with ads, but it also wouldn’t have been worth the effort because that just wasn’t a big enough target audience.
