That wasn't entirely the internet's doing. A lot of it came from the vanity self-publishers and women pushing romance novels through them. When I was starting to get into creative writing in high school and early college (late '90s), a lot of people were of the opinion that "it costs a lot of money to get pubished."
Edit: And one thing I just noticed in the style guide- block formatting? Really?
