  @Demeter_Erinia No, it was a CompuServe (Aol). It was a weird name after a squirrel with no tail that used to hang out in our garden.

  @ThreeUK Sort your **** mobile broadband network out in South Manchester. I had better service with my AOL rom disc and dial up in Y2K.

  Trans Atlantic flights go from **** to entertainment hubs. From dial up aol to isdn to cable to satalites. From a phone on the kitchen wall to cordless to bulky to flip to IPhone pc in your pocket

  @Hiraweb3 @BobbyThakkar Remember the phones had a busy signal? 2400 baud models and images gradually propagating down the screen on AOL

  @Rambrero1 @pantherkat @AOL I'm talking about a complete douchebag and the people who support him, you are bitching about your mail being down for an hour or two. Big difference. That man destroys everything he touches! My kids can't even afford to buy a house on two incomes!

  Mel misses the point, perhaps even by sincere error. It's not nostalgia for limited programs. I'm sure there are some people who want to go back to AOL, but that's not the point. It's that we have come to recognize that being parked in front of a screen for most of the day is bad for even an adult, much less a child. So many of us are nostalgic for a day when we weren't online all the time. Personally, I'm also old enough to remember when I was called socially deficient for reading all the time, just because my books were more interesting than my peers. I was in eighth grade before I found friends who liked even some of what I enjoyed. Being online isn't automatically bad, but if you don't exercise self-control you'll find it controls you. That's being terminally online -- when it defines you, more than anything else.

  $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.

  @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.

  @brivael I worked at Time Warner for 24 years, and lost hundreds of thousands of my 401k in the infamous AOL merger that killed off the greatest media company in the world—the worst merger in corporate history. I mostly blame Steve Case and his other AOL cronies, who dumped all their stock right at the merger, while all the TW Execs and employees kept their stock and lost billions. I remember McKinsey’s empty suits seemed to be everywhere at Time Warner drying its death throes, and it always seemed like McKinsey helped orchestrate its collapse.
