Objection: I'm pretty sure Usenet had a colossal amount of porn, at least by the standards of the day. Maybe even still the case. I know its most common use today is for binaries, and I assume that most of that is porn.
Of course it had. But, compared to the web, it was (1) less convenient to get; and (2) separated from the textual content. Think about the difference between a web page and a set of files sitting in a directory.
I'm not sure I'm getting out of that comparison what you meant to put into it. I find the set of files in a directory a heck of a lot more convenient.
