Was mangago always more bl focused?

I might've been here for like 10+ years but just recently I noticed that a lot of popular non bl works don't nearly get as much attention nor comments (prolly bc I don't check comment section), older works that were uploaded regularly in their prime still get like 20 pages of comments
to be fair I read my non bls somewhere else but it does seem like there are tons of works in non bl genres...was it that mgg was just not as popular as now or the comment section wasn't a thing in like 2011 and older?
