  Today I learned I will not be able to access my @Myspace account ever again. Because my @AOL email is deactivated due to 'inactivity' and I can't reset my password... after not using either for 15 years. This is what you do when @Facebook is down. #facebookdown #facebookcrash

  One of the small things that I am proud of. I don’t become a raging douchbag online. What I am online is the exact same person you’ll find in real life. For I understand a keyboard is not an all access pass to being an *******. Too bad so many today never had a fight in a nickel arcade because some weird douchbag wouldn’t stop bumping into you while you’re trying to beat PAC Man. Too bad so many today have never enjoyed the killing fields of chat rooms in AOL. Too bad.

  The funny thing is if you just cancelled your internet after the trial period AOL would just mail you another trial disk. We never paid for internet when I was a kid.

  The Funny thing is Other Platforms have been used for over 30 years and Blocking based on age will never work remember Fake ID's that Doesn't Stop at Undocumented immigrants or Teen's with any desire to say Goodbye 👋. Like AOL

  @muheediva01 I couldn't afford AOL but I was 20 years old, stupid, living in the ATL and was up to no good on a daily basis. Not sure how I even survived 95.

  For people with newsletters - do you get more spam reports from AOL/Yahoo users? I have a user which hit mark as spam 3 times in the last month or so, but is still using the product. People tell me that's "normal" for AOL/Yahoo users, that some of them treat mark as spam button as a delete button. How to handle this? Disabling the user?

  @Annie__Bee Outlook, AOL, Live, Gmail, X, Yahoo -all major co's have been hacked. To regain a hacked acct. try to login, with the last email address you used, you'll have to change the password, have it sent to you, change password.

  $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.
