  @scottmelker Eth is still on AOL, Garbage and putting a new coat of paint to shine ut up wont make people stay or comeback. Only reason TVL is still high is it cost 5 million to move 2 dollars. Eth is garbage and always will be. Move on to better projects, SOL, SUI, HYPE.

  @MorePerfectUS This dysgenic mouth-breather just says things for controversy. Remember he was the guy who became rich by taking Netscape IPO before it could even turn a profit and then sold it to AOL. His entire existence is the prototype for the Silicon Valley hype bro (i.e. Theranos, WeWork, etc.. would never be possible without his prototype) and if you don't hate him then you don't know him enough

  @marklevinshow ... bro... you're linking to an AOL story? You rely know your demographic, don't you. I'll wait for the next CD to arrive so I can get a 30 day trial if their dial-up service, so U can check it out. After my 2pm supper, of course.

  @desthia2 This is the bottleneck problem AI is experiencing right now. It is like when AOL charge by the minute, then someone said unlimited internet. We need quantum computing to have a break though or enough data centers to handle. Selling compute capacity to other AI companies has screwed their own customers.

  @lady_valor_07 @Yahoo @MSN AOL and dail up - refuse to call it the good old days but it was something. You knew that it was the beginning, but you didn't know of what. Could never have foreseen the internet in 2026 that is for sure.

  $BSP is a masterpiece. Just not of innovation. Working in Big Tech, you get used to seeing what actual scale and innovation look like. So watching Italy crown Bending Spoons as its great tech champion - a team that buys beloved, declining brands like AOL, Evernote, WeTransfer, and Meetup to "revive" them - has been fascinating. Their $18 billion IPO is largely deserved: they are exceptional operators. They make neglected software fast and profitable. The machine works. But there are two things you can do to a fading product. You can make it modern and profitable again - or you can make it win again, attracting new people who genuinely love it. Bending Spoons does the first brilliantly. The second, almost never. Their own SEC prospectus reveals the trick. Organic growth was 13% last year, and just 6% last quarter. Net revenue retention is 94%, meaning each cohort of users is worth less a year later, even after aggressive price hikes. This isn't a base being won back; it's a base leaking quietly, taxed harder on the way out. This is exactly why comparing them to Big Tech is so revealing. Picture $META putting WhatsApp or Instagram behind a paywall tomorrow. There would be a global uproar. Meta has the most locked-in audience on Earth, yet they refuse to charge them. Why? Because they are still chasing growth. Bending Spoons charges its captive audiences precisely because it has no growth left to protect. They execute the exact playbook that would make Meta a supervillain, but on smaller apps with weaker exits - and we call it genius. The reviled villain treats its users better than the celebrated innovator. A true maker earns its price by building something genuinely better; you pay because you want to stay. Bending Spoons didn't build these products; braver people did. They buy them when they are loved and hard to quit, and turn them into extraction machines. They are professional converters of makers into takers. Charging people because they want to stay makes everyone richer. Charging them because they can't leave just moves money from users to shareholders. One is a gain for the world. The other is a transfer. And every switch they flip is one more bill on people already drowning in subscriptions, asked to pay again for what they once had free. Of course, the business works. Rent extraction is the safest business on earth: low risk, fast payback, nothing to invent. But compare that to actual innovation. Whatever you think of Elon Musk, he took real risk on things that didn't exist yet: Tesla forced open the EV industry, SpaceX made rockets reusable, and each time the rest of the world had to follow. He earned his success by growing the pie; Bending Spoons pours the same ingenuity into nag screens and cancellation mazes, carving up a pie someone else baked. Let's not call a toll booth a cathedral. Celebrate rent-collection as innovation, and we teach our best makers to optimize the past instead of building the future.

  key w/ reading older material like this (in QT), is a deep understanding of business models someone new would look at this and say, “why do I care about AOL” I prob would've said the same at a younger age but there's two errors, one is viewing everything ex post vs ex ante (conflating process vs outcome), the second is underestimating how sharp markets are everything is a DCF, and every business model can be mapped to an income statement + fcfs so in that light, nothing is ever really new, nor is nothing ever really old esp during dot com era, if you go back today and read a lot of initiations/bull case takes, they’re far from outrageous, and many went on to prove correct albeit on the wrong time horizon (ie took 10+ years instead of 3-5) AOL's revenue went from $425M in 1995, to nearly $5B in 1999 and ~$1B in earnings/CFO when a company is growing revs that fast, u can make a DCF work for the piece below, I don’t know tech, so I can’t do this exercise for something like AOL - but in other sectors, u can usually bank on the same principles, just with a tighter range of outcomes…why it never hurts to keep running case studies + keep feeding the pattern recognition machine.
