I made a lot of money selling subscriptions to GUBA (Gigantic Usenet Binary Archive) back in the day. After they dumped their core business model and cut their own balls off in a misguided attempt to chase porn-leery venture capital money so they could get acquired as a YouTube competitor (LOL, didn't happen) they had a few competitors rise up to try and fill their niche. But they're all gone now, and there's not much left in the old newsgroups.
