How did posting online change from, "Be careful what you put online!" to many sharing a lot under real names?

I know at this point a lot of it is related to money, but there was a transitional time that led to this point that I'm still confused by.
What details changed about online spaces that made many folks more comfortable sharing so much under their real names between the "Be careful!" times to where we are now?

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

I imagine it depends on what info you're comfortable having connected to your name. My Facebook has my real name, and I'd be ok sharing what I cooked for dinner, but i wouldn't share hyper personal details.
On an anonymous website I'd share more personal info because my name isn't associated with it. I don't have to worry about my coworkers asking me why I'm subscribed to r/SlimegirlHentai
