ahhh, the glorious days of TF2 lobbies, where players would have custom sprays that were almost always just porn. How far we've...oh wait a minute actually it seems like we've made no progress at all.

Also the free cupholder era.

It still exist today with the Conscientious Objector and the Flair.
Sprays also still exist but custom servers only.

At least they didn't require exploits

I have something like 500h in TF2 from back before Valve killed it with lootboxes and I haven’t really experienced porn sprays. I think people didn’t want to risk VAC ban from a paid game.

You wouldn't get a VAC ban for porn sprays. At worst you could get a server ban if it was against their rules, and I'd say you were definitely playing on servers where that was enforced because it was rampant.

Could be, I’m in Eastern Europe so there weren’t that many servers and I hung out in maybe a dozen or so. You’d also expect this area to be the hive of scum and villainy but it was mostly nice people playing in general.
