Trolling used to be more about pranking each other than about organised scam or attacks, or manufacturing consent for governments or promoting political parties. It was more like an internet art form. I guess this is about what one can consider as the internet being more innocent back then.

Trolling is still essentially that, it's just that state actors and media decided to call scam and attacks trolling.
