  Ma Huateng shopped Tencent to buyers in 1999 and nobody wanted it. Jack Ma had already been turned down for 30 jobs, one of them at a KFC. The Chinese television archives from that stretch catch both men before anyone had a reason to listen. Studio chairs, no product the audience recognized, no reason for the segment to exist. Jack Ma's first time on camera was not even an interview. A crew found him at night, still sitting on his bicycle, in the middle of something he had not planned to be filmed doing. He had put 7,000 yuan of savings and a family loan into China Yellow Pages, selling web pages in a country that was barely online. Hangzhou Telecom set up a competitor and pushed him out inside 2 years. Ma Huateng started Tencent in Shenzhen in November 1998 with 4 partners. OICQ crossed 1,000,000 users in its first year and earned nothing, while the server bills kept coming. So he went looking for an exit. He approached Sohu. He approached Yahoo China. Both passed. IDG and a fund run by Li Ka-shing's son each took 20% for $1,100,000, which valued the company at about $11,000,000. Then AOL won a trademark case and OICQ became QQ. In May 2001 a South African media group bought 46.5% for $32,000,000. That stake later passed $175,000,000,000, the best venture bet ever placed. Jack Ma started Alibaba in April 1999 in his apartment with 18 people and 500,000 yuan, ran the biggest IPO in history in 2014, attacked China's financial regulators onstage in October 2020, and vanished from public view for 3 months. One could not sell his company. The other could not get hired.

  @NilesSankey The Bungie of my memories was (as you say) a once in a lifetime confluence of people and a particular time in the world. I remember when they were a "keyword" on AOL (before AOL had full Internet access, sort of like a link) and fans were also prevalent on UseNet. This time (and the decade after) was when the fans and the devs had such tight contact that everyone was "in on the joke" when The Webmaster, Disembodied Soul or other online "persona" would rib, tease, or outright insult gamers. Not as if they were family, because they WERE family. It was great while it lasted, but things inevitably change and more and more gamers started considering themselves "customers" and that Bungie should treat them as such ("the customer is always right" mantra for example). The playful and sometimes hardcore "back and forth" went away. The tight connection between the devs and their fans became customer service interactions with consumers. People were told "It's not 2004 anymore" and the fact is that they were right. The era had passed and something new/different had replaced everything. That carefree, brave, willing to take risks, adventurous outlook of a tightly knit team isn't something that can be forced and it isn't likely to survive current-day corporate culture. It's not 1994, 2004, or even 2014 anymore. But it WAS fun!

  @bumbadum14 I know people who have tumbled down this same rabbit hole. Being isolated in a cabin in Maine with nobody to tell you you're ******* nuts. He's basically a 2005 era boomer sending FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD: AOL emails of a giant shark eating a scuba diver hanging from a helicopter. Like when he states he knows "FOR. A. FACT." that American missiles were sold by Ukraine to Mexican cartels - and the "FACT" is just some random picture of a spent AT4.

  @Irina_exh @bshepherd05 18. I’ve never used a phone booth, and I didn’t have an aol address. I’m really not that old, just grew up in the 1980s and 90s
