I think it’s more that adults sexualizing children wasn’t considered a frequent risk, people didn’t think anyone they knew would look at babies that way. Gen X parents really shifted a lot in terms of culture in the US, under their generation child sexual abuse cases have dropped significantly, and that’s adjusting to unreported numbers.
I can’t say world wide, but in the U.S., home photography was not new 30-40 years ago. I was a kid 30 year ago and I had real camera and various disposable ones over time. Maybe home videography was becoming more common 30-40 years ago, but photography had been around.
I think home photography was still pretty new 30-40 years ago, might be why some families were weirdly oversharing with baby photos? Idk.

Also back then you didn’t have photo previews plus limited number of photos
Yeah, home photography wasn’t new in the 90s, it’d been worked on for a bit.
