  @Xfinity resorting to the old AOl tactics of their web site not working and constantly logging you out or "technical issues" when trying to pull up your bill.

  All the SpaceX/Elon fanboys are upset that I said SpaceX is a wildly overvalued IPO and that at some point the share price will crater... and that is when you buy. But I hear all kinds of jibber-jabber about what SpaceX does and is and whatever. It's all the same words, just in a different order that defined the last 30 years of tech investing... and I've been around for all of it as a financial writer. So, here's a list of every IPO that was the biggest/most relevant of its time and what came of it: Netscape (1995): The company that lit the dot-com fuse. briefly dominated the internet browser market before Microsoft crushed it by giving away a competing product for free. limped into AOL's arms at a fraction of its peak value. Yahoo (1996): A $13 IPO that became a $110 billion fever dream at the peak of the bubble, then collapsed 93% to $8, spent a decade mismanaging itself into irrelevance, turned down a $44/share Microsoft buyout offer when it was already dying, and was finally sold to Verizon for parts in 2017. Amazon (1997): Went public at $18, rode the bubble to $113, crashed 94% to $6, then methodically became the most dominant retail and cloud computing empire in history. theglobe dot com (1998): Exploded 600% on its first trading day on pure mania with no real business model, and was bankrupt and forgotten within three years. VA Linux (1999): Holds the all-time record for the largest single-day IPO pop — up 700% — on just $17.8 million in annual revenue, and spent the next 15 years slowly selling itself off for scraps at a 90%+ discount to its opening-day price. Google (2004): The rare IPO that was actually priced like a real business, debuted into post-bubble investor skepticism, and rewarded anyone who held it with a 7,500%+ return over 20 years. Facebook/Meta (2012): Priced at $104 billion with a broken mobile strategy, immediately cratered 54% in under four months to $17 as investors fled, then finally cracked the mobile monetization code and turned a humiliating IPO into a 1,300%+ return for anyone who didn't panic. Snap (2017): Sold non-voting shares in a money-losing company with decelerating growth at 25x revenue, popped on day one, collapsed 75% within two years, and now nearly a decade later an IPO investor has still lost more than half their money. Uber (2019): Private market fantasies priced this one at $120 billion, the public market immediately said "no" and sent it below its $45 IPO price on day one, the stock bled another 25% in four months, and it took years of grinding toward actual profitability before the stock finally vindicated long-suffering holders. Alibaba (2014): Legit one of the greatest businesses in the world at IPO, rode to $300, then the Chinese government decided Jack Ma needed to be humbled, and a decade after its record-breaking debut the stock still trades below its first-day opening price. I am NOT saying that SpaceX is a bad company. I am saying SpaceX IPO is stupidly valued by an excessively greedy Wall Street trying to extract as much wealth as possible in this latest tech hype period. SpaceX will go on to great things one day ... but at 90x sales, the shares are destined for a deep, deep enema-like cleansing at some point. Extremely rich valuations never last. The history above tells you the trajectory.

  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.

  @FunkoPOPsNews Neopets made me who I am today. Still one of the GOAT games. There was a point where it was in the top three most visited websites daily I think? Right behind AOL and Google. They weren't afraid to actually make items limited. Now every game it seems like everyone has access to everything. I was 10 years old buying out the trading post of limited edition stamps and food items that were needed to get avatars for the message boards. I'd buy out the supply, stick them in my safety deposit box for a month or two, and then bring them back out at triple the price. Some things never change.

  @nikitabier perhaps I'm just being a nostalgic boomer dinosaur, but back when it was uunet and BBS's like BIX or AOL, and nobody got paid, you just said what you said and the various communities policed their own, tight or loose. The whole alt. tree was a bit surreal, but by and large it was real discussion, sharing of info, etc. without very many of these constant influencer flame wars for clix and a dozen reposts of something only a little further down in my feed. Now we add a whole attack vector on sanity with the short form videos Elon has said rot your brain. I don't need to bother grokadoodle and ask if there's a pattern.

  @LadyForProgress Uh are you stupid? Edythe Moss specifically told Aol news that Dalton had a bond hearing at 1:30, and who was it that kept bashing on Chud for losing his kids? YOUR SIDE DID!
