  An early Polygon investor ran the comparison against his own position. Yat Siu @ysiu puts the value split at 90 to 95 percent to the application that owns the customer, with gas fees going to the chain underneath. Polymarket's private valuation is 8 billion dollars. Polygon, the chain Polymarket is built on, is a lot smaller. His analogy is the mid 90s, when AOL bought Time Warner and the ISPs were the giants of the moment. AT&T is worth a lot of money today. It is smaller than Google, Apple and Nvidia. Critical infrastructure keeps getting built. It stops being the biggest company in the room.

  Something about $BSP: they bought AOL at a 5x income before tax, which is optically cheap right? The small issue is that they bought it from Apollo and imho there's zero chance Apollo got a bad deal

  Several things to address with AOL mail. First, have had some issues with blocking mail, not getting blocked AFTER having blocked it, repeatedly. Secondly, cut it out with the -targeted ADS with names you know are family relevant. (Prayers)

  AOL and Time Warner didn’t just pay for what the two companies were worth in January 2000. They paid for what they believed the two companies could become together. The announced merger was valued at roughly $350B, with AOL shareholders expected to own about 55% of the combined company. The logic was easy to understand: combine AOL’s internet business with Time Warner’s media assets and create value neither could generate alone. But there was a financial problem hiding inside that logic. Future synergies are uncertain. The merger closed in January 2001. SEC disclosures later put the acquisition cost at approximately $147B. Then came the accounting reckoning. In 2002, the combined company reported a $98.7B net loss, including a $54.2B goodwill impairment. That $54.2B was non-cash. It did not mean the company suddenly paid out $54.2B in cash. It meant the value previously assigned to acquired goodwill could no longer be supported at the same level. That distinction matters. When you pay upfront for future synergies, you are effectively putting a price on value that still depends on execution. If the synergies arrive, the premium can make sense. If they don’t, shareholders can end up carrying the cost. The most expensive synergy is the one you pay for before you prove it exists.

  @DerrickEvans4WV Can we just go back to AOL and dial up internet? Do we really need everything connected to everything…? I don’t think so. Let’s cancel this AI stuff.

  Harvest raised prices up to 1000%, and most users still can't calculate their bill until it lands. The problem isn't the price. It's that they never explain it upfront. Here I will be telling you about the new pricing model. so you can do the math before renewal does it for you. Why this happened to you? Bending Spoons ; the company behind Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Eventbrite, and AOL — bought Harvest in July 2025. Look at their track record and you'll see the same move every time: acquire, raise prices, shrink the free tier. You just watched it happen again. If you signed up before Nov 7, 2024, you were on the old flat-rate plan. Since then, you've been getting quietly migrated to the new model and it usually shows up hardest right at your renewal. What you used to pay- Simple, flat, per seat: - Pro: $11/seat/mo (annual) - Premium: $14/seat/mo (annual) No usage fees. No surprises. What you are paying now- You're on one of four tiers : Free Teams Enterprise Enterprise Plus If you're on Teams or Enterprise, you're billed one of two ways: Flex: your seat rate, plus usage fees based on what you did last period Unlimited: your seat rate, plus one fixed surcharge no matter what you did Base seat prices: Teams from $9/seat, Enterprise from $14/seat. Want profitability reports, approvals, or SSO? That's Enterprise only. Now the part nobody sees coming: Harvest doesn't publish a rate card. Based on real accounts, here's roughly how it works on Flex billing: - Projects: free up to 4 then $15 (5–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Tasks: free up to 3 then $15 (4–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Clients: free up to 3 then $15 (4–10) climbing to $1,000 (151+) - Invoices created: free up to 4 then $15 (5–10) climbing to $650 (51+) - Amount invoiced: free up to $3K then $15 ($3K–$20K) climbing to $650 ($200K+) On an annual plan, you get roughly 12 projects, 7 tasks, 7 clients, 50 invoices, and $50K invoiced before any of this kicks in. Cross a line, and that category starts billing you on its own, separate from everything else. One UK consultancy owner told the BBC the increase felt like "Daylight robbery" — and it's easy to see why once you see the mechanics above. Now, the small things that makes it even worse - Your trial starts on the pricier tier. You have to switch it yourself - Your first invoice looks normal. The real number shows up on your second one - Archiving someone doesn't stop the billing. You have to delete their seat - A two week freelancer still costs you a full seat - Stripe takes a cut of your invoices, then Harvest takes another - Scheduling is a separate paid add on There's no AI help. You're tracking and reporting everything by hand I talked to a founder this week who used to swear by Harvest; forecasting, budgeting, invoicing, no complaints. Then her renewal hit. She didn't get a choice. She's calling herself a "Harvest Refugee" now. So are a lot of people who loved the product but can't justify the new math anymore. If that's where you're at, the name that keeps coming up is OneSuite flat $9/seat/month, no usage fees, nothing quietly stacking on top of your bill. And it's not a stripped down copy either. It's apple to apple with Harvest, feature for feature: - Timesheets and Expense tracking with approvals - Billable rates and cost rates - Project budgeting - Time and material, fixed fee, and non billable project types - Invoicing, synced with QuickBooks Same workflow you're used to. And few more stuff extra such as - CRM, Contract and Project Management  Just none of the surprise billing. Before you panic or jump ship: go to Settings → Billing, find your renewal date, and add up your own projects, clients, tasks, and invoices against the free limits above. Know your number before Harvest tells you. best, Syed Rezwanul Haque (Reza)

  @Dan_Jeffries1 Gates never said this. In the 1990s, Microsoft focused on proprietary online networks (MSN) rather than the 'internet'. Think AOL. The 'internet' was a side product you got by connecting to their proprietary service. Downplaying to be the source of connection = marketing 😐
