  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.

  @jrade762 @exQUIZitely The customer (you) paid for your phone line + either the hourly/monthly rate to AOL. Since connecting meant you couldn't use your phone for calls many people ended up getting a 2nd phone line (more $ to Ma Bell) until DSL lines came into play.

  @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.

  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.

  WCW had been losing millions of dollars for years before they closed shop. If AOL/Time Warner wanted WCW on their networks, they’d probably still be around today in some form. People comparing WCW to WWE never cease to make my head hurt. WCW folded because they were the number two and folded under the pressure of going after number 1. They would’ve had a better chance without the merger but they were still fighting the odds. It’s a lot easier for the number two to fold up shop than it ease for number 1 to fall to number 2. Especially when the gap is as wide as it is with WWE and AEW.
