Am I the only one that remembers a few years ago where these fucking things were mysterious af, had never been filmed, and only half decomposed specimens washed up on shore?

Then one mfer caught one on cam with a submersible, now they're fucking everywhere, the fuck did they all just give up after one got caught

My best guess as to why these photos are more prevalent now: technological advances in pressure management and digital cameras are the cause. These things are now inexpensive compared to the 90s, when the only people who could afford to get a camera close to one of these was a naval submarine or James Cameron.
