The early internet was purely technical...mainly military, university. The early 'mass internet' of the early to mid 90s is when I started on it. In my experience, it was mostly people looking for entertainment and chatting. The web was new, barebones, and fascinating. It was nowhere near as scummy as it is now. Scams of some sort have always existed...phishing, get rich quick schemes, etc. Mainly delivered by email. It definitely was by no means primarily for scams. I'd argue the internet today is more scammy than the early internet was, ignoring blockchain.
