Early Internet - yes, but then there's the middle Internet (or the high Internet if you like, like high Middle Ages) which was in large part scraped by archive.org, and also people generally still knew about offline backups in both eras, and then there's the late Internet, which moved to siloed services and at the same time most people using it were and are oblivious about preserving data elsewhere. That's the worst one.
