It's the largely unmodded aspect of the current web. Back then minors had to be good, or they'd get kicked out of most communities/groups/forums and such. Now it's based on tags and largely unmodderated.

Also, I'd note that the current fandom climate means the more of an asshole you are, the more attention you get. It can be from making snappy comebacks or dressing up your bullying in social justice talk. The comments about purity wank are another thing. They use a blanket assumption of adults in fandom being creepy and go from there.

People got tons of attention for being assholes on the old internet. Just over different things.

Also, I think - to be precise - it's not even that the web is unmoderated as such. It's that the web is unmoderated, and also doesn't really allow people to self select into communities to nearly the same extent as it used to, because everyone got dumped into a relatively small number of massive sites instead of everyone being distributed across a few different communities. So, like, in the old days, you might have seen markedly different communities and norms on sites that predominantly had younger users, compared to sites with older users. Now it's everyone on the same site.

I really miss the old modded forums and communities. Too much free for all nowadays imo
