Does Anyone Peruse Usenet or the Newgroups?

Not the "Dark Web" that is talked about but what was in the internet when it originally started and you transferred things by FTP and so on? I have been using usenet since we did dial up back in 1978 so our girls could look up info for homework assignments. Then came AOL and shortly after the net became graphic with browsers and such. It is still a super interesting place to peruse and there is EVERTHING in there! I noticed several used ID's seem to be associated with 80% of the uploads so I was wondering how in the hell they have time to upload several million items every day after getting into a website and grabbing all their content? Any ideas?
