  When the Internet first appeared, many people thought AOL was the Internet. Later, people discovered the Internet was still there. AOL wasn't. Then came a time when people thought Yahoo was the Internet. After that Google was the Internet. Then Facebook was the Internet. And now AI companies are becoming the new center of attention.The Internet itself never disappeared. The center of gravity simply kept changing.

  @AntiLeftMemes 19, never had an AOL address. I had my own ISP in 1992, with my own email address.

  @BrianRoemmele "Family Drθne!" & the IE-like window that the desktop is *inside of* & the smooth progress bar & AOL never looked like that this is what you get with people who weren't there - and guess what, this is NORMAL in human history.

  AOL was once worth more than Nvidia, McDonald's, Apple, Amazon, General Motors, Starbucks, Adobe, Nokia, and Disney - combined! It was the world's #1 Internet Service Provider and mailed a billion free trial CDs. You'd find them tucked into cereal boxes, magazines, and airplane seat pockets. At one point, half of all CDs produced on Earth are AOL discs. Once the biggest merger in history (AOL/Time Warner), now a mere glimpse on the radar...

  @Konviction_ *rephrase Sign up for AOL, get a pack of blank CDs. Walk into parking lot, call AOL to cancel. They hated me.

  @WhaleInsider Two of the biggest frauds on two of the worst crypto networks! BTC is a Beanie Baby, and ETH is AOL.

  Marc Andreessen on the exact moment the Internet changed forever: "There are two Internets," Marc explains. "There's the Internet that existed before 1993 and the Internet that existed after 1993." Before 1993, the Internet was funded by the National Science Foundation as an academic and research network. Commercial activity was strictly prohibited under what was called the acceptable use policy. The result was something the people who lived through it still describe in utopian terms. @pmarca describes it like this: "People who were on the Internet before 1993 often describe it in utopian terms because it literally was like you take the whatever million smartest people in the world and you put them on a network together with like no commercial activity, no advertising, no nothing, just the million smartest people in the world. And you just like let them talk to each other. And it's just like amazing." He singles out Usenet, the old messaging system, as the centerpiece of that world: "The discussions on Usenet were just like absolutely spectacular… It was like the most pure, clean intellectual, like vibrant space sense, like, I don't know, Athens in 500 BC. It was just like this amazing phenomenon." Then AOL connected. In September 1993, AOL plugged its million or two million subscribers. Normal people into the Internet for the first time. That moment got a name: eternal September. It was the day the Internet stopped being an ivory tower and became a mainstream consumer thing. The "eternal" part is its own joke. Marc explains: "Concept of eternal September literally was, it was like when every new wave of college graduates graduated and got their first job and then went online. So September is when the new crop of Internet users showed up… So the September effect didn't just happen once. It like happened over and over and over and over and over again. And every cycle of Internet user would basically be like, oh my God, this is great. But like, it's all going to get ruined in September." The Internet we live in today is the result of roughly 30 of those Septembers stacked on top of each other. Marc is careful to say he's pro that shift. He was on the side of opening it up, allowing commerce, allowing advertising, connecting everyone. But he doesn't pretend the trade-off wasn't real. You can't take a network of the smartest million people on earth, connect it to everyone, and expect the texture of the conversation to survive. The lesson sits underneath the story. Every great network has a pre-commercial phase that the early users remember as paradise, and a post-commercial phase that actually changes the world. Both are real. You don't get the second without giving up the first.
