Poker had always had a bad reputation. Has nothing to do with the Internet, just gambling in general.

  I wouldn't say it ever had a great reputation, just that it lost what it had. Akin to how it's commonly considered unacceptable to let middle aged kids roam as much as they used to. It's not that letting a toddler roam around as far as they wanted was always viewed perfectly, just that the bar for what's considered taboo moved farther up the line.
