Been away from the game for 12 years, are low stakes casino games still the same?

Hello everyone
so basically life gets in the way , and I haven't played for 12+years (I know it sounds insane but it is the way it is). Finally I wanna get back to play some poker so I decided to ask you guys here (it took me a while to recall this forum's name LOL)

About me: I was just a straight forward player who barely beat the rakes. For the last 1000 hours I played in the $1/2 games at my local casinos in the year 2011, I made around $3500-4000. So I was making 2BB per hour I guess.

Should I be expecting the same calling stations, maniacs and old nits from 12 years ago in your average casino card rooms or they have gotten better?

Also I just saw a few videos on Youtube, what's with the small betting size nowadays? Like a quarter size bet or even smaller. That was pretty much unheard of 12 years ago.

Thanks everyone for your time

Best regards
