Don't know if that's true. People invested in it as a bubble - knowing that someday the companies running sites within them would be worth trillions. And they were right (though not about which ones would be worth that)

I remember seeing a lot of dinky banner ads back in the day.

But it is true. Luckily, Tim Berners Lee, the guy who invented the WWW, is still alive, and has posted his opinions about the state of the web.

His intention, the purpose for which he created the web, was not commerce and ads.
