I mean, having intermediary liability (as you would absent section 230) doesn't mean you're immediately forced to shut down. Prodigy had been around for just over 10 years before the Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co. ruling, after all.

It does however mean that if you do get sued over third party content on your site, you will probably lose, which is an expensive possibility for any small site operator.

That's a huge assumption based on a single extremely ancient case, that completely flies in the face of any reasonable application of the law.
