I would love to see a deep investigation proving/disproving this point

Somewhat related: USENET's culture was destroyed as early at 1993.

pours one out for my homies

More seriously, I sometimes sorta miss USENET. However, my ISP actually still provisions it. It has been a while, but I have gone back to check it out. It's nothing like I remember, so I don't end up making it a point to check the groups regularly and I leave it alone for a few more years.
