Word of mouth still spreads. People, things and memes still went viral before tech companies decided what you want to see.

A west australian state treasurer used to sniff the chairs of female parliamentarians after they stood up. In the early 2000s iirc.

Reply to comment by qawsedrf12 in Study finds age-related macular degeneration strongly associated with serious forms of cardiovascular disease, heart damage from heart failure and heart attacks by Living_And_Alive

Age-related is far more common, but macular degeneration can occur as a symptom of other conditions.

The study found the increased risk in patients with two types of cholesterol deposits formed under the retina, but it didn't mention whether that was more common in wet or dry. I'm not a doctor though so someone else may know more about that.
