  @Meidas_Samantha I was using the social media of the time around 1980. Usenet news. Back then the Internet was created by geeks for geeks. Using it was, in itself, an intelligence test which kept the level of debate up. Then the suits found it and AOL made it easy and the tone went way down.

  People prefer to pay flat rates than metered. In today's age, you can give an agent monthly budget (flat rate) and not have to worry about how many micropayments it makes for products/services. Excerpt from "Case Against Micropayments": "What was the biggest complaint of AOL users? Not the widely mocked and irritating blue bar that appeared when members downloaded information. Not the frequent unsolicited junk e-mail. Not dropped connections. Their overwhelming gripe: the ticking clock. Users didn’t want to pay by the hour anymore. ... Case had heard from one AOL member who insisted that she was being cheated by AOL’s hourly rate pricing. When he checked her average monthly usage, he found that she would be paying AOL more under the flat-rate price of $19.95. When Case informed the user of that fact, her reaction was immediate. ‘I don’t care,’ she told an incredulous Case. ’I am being cheated by you.’"

  @KydJustice If AOL/Time Warner wanted to keep wrestling on their network, nothing happening in WCW at the time would have mattered. Brooks is full of ****.

  @mar70854f @nemywtf @itskwasi You have to get an undergraduate degree before you go for a PHD retard Zuck and gates were mega geniuses going to harvard. Zuck had a job offer from AOL in high school. Much different from 99.9% of you retards who say “well an immaterial amount of rich people don’t have degrees”

  Researchers tracked 344,753 websites over 18 months to map where American attention actually goes online. The answer is email. Gmail alone is 16% of all desktop time. Add Yahoo, Outlook, and AOL, and inboxes eat nearly a quarter of every hour Americans spend at a computer. That's double the combined total of Facebook, X, Reddit, Instagram, Discord, and WhatsApp. The legacy numbers are the wild part. Yahoo Mail, at 3.71%, gets more attention than ChatGPT, Reddit, and Netflix combined. AOL Mail, a service most people assume died with dial-up, beats Instagram and Discord combined. Yahoo still has roughly 225 million active mail users, skewing Gen X and Boomer: people who opened an account in 1999 and never saw a reason to leave. Google Search sits at just 2.33%. The front door of the entire internet gets less time than Yahoo's inbox, because search is engineered to end fast. Every second you spend on a results page is a second Google failed. The chart measures desktop, which explains the shape. Your phone is where you play. Your computer is where you work. And the work of being an American in 2026, the bills, the receipts, the school notices, the job applications, still runs through a protocol invented in 1971. Strip away 30 years of apps and the desktop internet is a post office with better graphics.

  @Tsukento Oh man I never did use the AOL site as I was a filthy Earthlinker, but I was in the Loudhouse as early as 1995 (under the same username hilariously I've kept it the same going back to 1994 and WBS Chat, also long gone)
