As the computer and software industry grew, the need for new applications to reduce time and effort also increased. Thus, text storage and uploading web application came into existence by the name of “Pastebin”. If the users wanted to share text snippets or codes with other users online, they would use sites like pastebin.
It was launched in 2002 and made it hassle-free for the users to share code blocks, formatted properly and also without disturbing the chat flow. This website was founded after being inspired by a PHP-based program for sharing codes. Back in those days, the IRC chat rooms were quite basic as compared to those of today like WhatsApp. Also, if anybody posted a 50-line code block, it disturbed the flow of other messages. This is when Pastebin sites come into action.
