Visas still exist. And plenty of countries stamp passports.
We have 48 page passports. An older set has extra pages. At the time we were making yearly or more trips to a visa-required country that only gave single-entry visas.
These days, same country, less travel, long term visas--we will probably be halfway through our 48 pages when the time runs out.
