I would imagine it was harder to get information on topics as you would’ve had to buy/borrow encyclopedias to do.

Were there proprietary predecessor websites?

    I was a pretty big contributir to Everything2.com
    It’s not as encyclopedia-like as wikipedia, but still a reasonably good source of information. The biggest annoyance was that you couldn’t include pictures in a writeup.
