  AOL and Time Warner merged in a $165,000,000,000 deal, and two years later the company wrote off $99,000,000,000 in a single year. The announcement came in January 2000, weeks before the dot-com peak. An internet company buying one of the largest media empires on earth. AOL was the smaller business by revenue and profit. It had the stock price, which was the currency that made the deal possible. Steve Case and Gerald Levin stood on stage and called it the future. Dial-up subscribers plus film studios, cable systems, magazines, and music. Then the bubble burst. AOL's advertising revenue collapsed, and the subscriber business began dying as broadband arrived and nobody needed dial-up anymore. The cultures never combined. Time Warner executives resented being bought with inflated paper, and the AOL side found the media business slow. In 2002 the company reported a loss of about $99,000,000,000, the largest annual loss in American corporate history. Almost all of it was writing down the value of AOL itself. The AOL name came off the company in 2003. The two businesses split apart entirely in 2009. Levin later apologized publicly and called himself responsible. The biggest deal ever signed destroyed more value than most companies ever create.

  This Week in Startups: August 3rd It's a wild one 👇 Airtable gets acquired by Bending Spoons for $1.28B. Once valued at $11B, now picked up at a fraction, the third brand-at-a-discount play this year after AOL and Eventbrite. Google’s AI leadership reshuffle. Demis Hassabis moves from CEO of DeepMind to Alphabet Chief Scientist. Nikita Bier steps down from X as Chief Product Officer. Revolut founder in line for a mega payout. Nik Storonsky’s incentive package could push his fortune to £57B if Revolut hits $200B valuation, not far-fetched after its latest secondary at $115B! SpaceX posted its first quarterly earnings. Revenue reached $7.8B (nearly 2x YoY, beating estimates).

  I once was shopping a manuscript to agents and I got such positive response to it & this one agent had asked for the exclusive manuscript. I agreed not knowing any better & turned down other requests for the full (stupid me), but it was actually autobiography presented as fiction, about my real life AOL catfish and I used his (alleged) real name because main plot points were directly related to the name & its meaning (& also f him he was a catfish). So her response in the end was that while she was very into my story she couldn't get past the terrible contrived name I had chosen for the character & ultimately had to pass I let myself feel quite embarrassed for ever writing such garbage & I shelved the whole thing, but then later that same name was used in so many popular TV shows, it's like a real name lots of people have

  @wtfcetialpha5 @brockpierson Wait…… They don’t anymore? My AOL subscription is up for renewal, and I was thinking about going with something different than my phone jack plug. Kinda sucks not being able to receive phone calls when I’m on the ‘puter!….😬

  @dotkrueger You people are acting like the fanatics who occupied the last days of every bubble in history. I remember seeing the same lunatics saying AOL stock would rise to $1000 and beyond around 1999. "It's all different now stupid!" I know many of you are on margin. You'll not recover from this.

  @heyraven_io @WildComputers How much does the creation of a single tiny hat cost you in USD? How many of your users are paying for the service? You are the equivalent of AOL giving dial-up minutes at a loss in the name of "growth" or non-viable dot-coms burning tons of VC capital in the name of "growth".

  X is broken as Hell right now. Like & Repost if you agree and are having similar issues. People I follow time lines aren't working, impossible to see who you follow or follows you, can't tag more than 4 ppl. 1989 "You've got Mail" worked better with AOL.
