I’m trying to think of the equivalent when I was a kid. Dial-up was a thing (some universities and companies and probably some rich folks had better, but the average person that even cared about getting online didn’t), but just getting images involved downloading multiple parts of the data from newsgroups and stitching it together.
My first thought was maybe watching home videos or AFHV for that media or something like MAD magazine, though neither really seems to fit.

We played text based adventures and liked it! Such enrichment. I crawled in the dumb waiter… The Count (1979)
