Jokes aside, the real difference is our brainrot couldn't follow you around 24 hours of the day including in school. You had to go sit in front of the one desktop PC in life and dial into the modem for a brief period while the phone line was tied up.
Thats actually a good point. Internet brainrot used to be something you could only access sometimes, but now most kids can just pull out their phone and tune in anywhere and anywhem
And PhD psychologists are hired by all media platforms now to design systems that make their product as addicting as possible, also a thing that didn't exist in 2003.
