  AOL-Time Warner was the dot-com era’s worst mistake, but PlayStation's war on user ownership is gaming's equivalent: a colossal waste vaporizing trust for control, proving that destroying consumer rights is just a brain-dead business model that burns investors every time 🤦

  The saddest thing is when the cheap ugly insulting lazy AI slop ad tells you "support local" or "thank you for supporting local" when they refused to hire a local graphic designer to use an AOL chatbot that just polluted their own water. Madness.

  The weirdest AI-era market signal today was not a model launch. It was Wall Street cheering AOL’s new parent. Bending Spoons, the Italian roll-up behind AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite and other “old internet” brands, ripped on its first trading day. Shares were up as much as 52% and closed about 40% above the IPO price, according to WSJ coverage. That matters because this was supposed to be the era where only frontier AI labs and zero-to-one startups get rewarded. But public markets are sending a different message: if AI makes software cheaper to build, then existing distribution gets more valuable, not less. Users, billing relationships, search traffic, archives, brand memory, and neglected products with real audiences suddenly look like underpriced assets. The winners may not just be the companies inventing new AI tools. They may also be the operators buying tired digital properties and rebuilding them with AI, automation, and brutal cost discipline. Watch for more money to chase AI-enabled roll-ups, not just AI-native apps. The next big tech winners might look less like inventors and more like private-equity-style owners of forgotten internet real estate. Is this just an IPO pop, or the first real sign that AI rewards ownership and distribution more than novelty?

  @desthia2 This is the bottleneck problem AI is experiencing right now. It is like when AOL charge by the minute, then someone said unlimited internet. We need quantum computing to have a break though or enough data centers to handle. Selling compute capacity to other AI companies has screwed their own customers.

  @Tsukento Oh man I never did use the AOL site as I was a filthy Earthlinker, but I was in the Loudhouse as early as 1995 (under the same username hilariously I've kept it the same going back to 1994 and WBS Chat, also long gone)

  $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.
