  @Masterji_UPWale You are right. I have had a yahoo account since 2006 till date, never have they asked me to buy more space. Same thing with AOL email account. But here we are, Gmail is asking me to buy more space

  A truly profound memberberries post. Nobody ever used Winamp. It was so niche. Along with ICQ, MSN, AOL dialup and burning CDs with Nero and being annoyed at how often they screwed up. All of those things are so niche they could never possibly be used for engagement farming.

  AOL was the first time I realized that a business could systematically exploit human weakness and make money by misleading customers. At the time, I was still a student. Out of curiosity, I subscribed to AOL. In reality, I already had access to the internet through a PPP modem, so I didn’t need AOL at all. But they offered a “first month free” promotion, and during registration, I had to provide my bank account details. I completely forgot about it. I never used the service, since I continued using my own internet connection. A few months later, I accidentally discovered that I had been charged $9.95 every month. As a student, that was not a trivial amount. I contacted AOL customer service. They didn’t argue or explain — they immediately terminated the service. Which, to me, showed they knew exactly what they were doing — and that this was not an isolated case.

  @AAStack Network effects are real — but they said the same thing about AOL, Yahoo, and Internet Explorer. Dominance isn’t permanence. VHS won out because it offered what Beta Max couldn’t, 2+ hour record times (sounds familiar)

  @wakeupnj Not new sadly. They were using MySpace and AOL back then. Cities didn’t want to acknowledge they had a gang problem so they allowed them to grow.

  @corey_lineberry @25YearsAgoLive That does sound pretty cool concept. But I don’t know if the Internet could even support something like that. I mean it’s mostly for like emails and browsing AOL, right?

  @Pirat_Nation Maybe for the gaming sector, but in terms of raw money down the drain, it's no AOL/TimeWarner.
