  @peterpuma4 @nodqdotcom @TripleH Russo kept an audience of 3 mil. and had to deal with the lack of funding and support from AOL/TW. Meanwhile HHH has infinite funding, streaming, resources of TKO, and the show is still DYING. Russo had 3x the ratings as HHH. They said ratings didn't matter, but now empty arenas?

  Airtable just got acquired by Bending Spoons for $1.2B+. The company raised $1.4B in funding and was valued at $11.7B in 2021. It has $480M in ARR growing 20 percent and filed for an IPO five months ago. None of that mattered and $2.25B equity value barely clears the preference stack. Early employees and common shareholders split what is left after investors get their liquidation preferences back. Bending Spoons collects SaaS companies the way private equity collects distressed assets. AOL, Evernote, Eventbrite, Vimeo, WeTransfer, now Airtable. They listed on Nasdaq three weeks ago and this is already their first post-IPO acquisition. Airtable is not a bad company. $480M ARR and 80 percent of the Fortune 100 as customers is a good business. The lesson is that raising $1.4B at an $11.7B valuation in 2021 set a bar that no amount of revenue growth could clear. The preference stack becomes the ceiling. Basically it's another corpse of bloated valuations of that period of time. What Airtable would look like if it had raised $50M instead of $1.4B? Same product, market and ARR trajectory. At $480M ARR a $1.285B exit would have been a massive win for everyone involved. The money that was supposed to be rocket fuel became the weight that dragged it down. Also worth noting: Bending Spoons is an Italian company buying American tech at a discount. The narrative that European tech cannot compete is aging badly. It is just competing differently, not by building hype but by buying the hangover.

  @airtable raised at $11.7B in December 2021. This morning it agreed to be acquired by Bending Spoons at roughly $2.25B equity value, about 80% off the peak. Everyone's reading that as a collapse. It isn't. Airtable does ~$480M in ARR, growing 20%+ a year, across 500,000 organizations including 80% of the Fortune 100. If you described that business to someone without telling them the funding history, they'd call it excellent. So the company didn't fail. The 2021 price failed. And I think there's something worth taking from that if you're building right now. For about a decade, the scoreboard was the valuation. It was the thing that got tweeted, the thing that got you on the podcast, the thing that made you feel like you were winning. And it turned out to be the single most reversible number in the whole business. Revenue doesn't get revised down 80% by a change in interest rates. Paper does. Nobody is handing out 2021 valuations in 2026. That's not the loss it sounds like. It just means the only number left worth chasing is the one that was always real. Also worth watching: Bending Spoons has now bought AOL, Eventbrite and Airtable inside seven months. Somebody has noticed there's a whole generation of good software companies stranded above their last round, and has built an acquisition machine pointed directly at them.

  @d4doome Usenet was good until infiltrated & destroyed by spam. Unfiltered Usenet groups have no modern equivalent. X shadow bans & stifles, even under Elon. Facebook is horrid. But before I used Usenet I was banned from AOL forums. The original evil, from which sh*t sites like Facebook & Reddit are censorious de facto children. Also I caused these three groups to be created, in the day, when most anyone could create a group…

  @johncardillo 1) No you didn't win, and the court records show it 2) Still not my name 3) Let's dig into your stupid claims even as they are. Your left screenshot, which I already went and pulled from the courts, shows the case was dismissed due to identity theft, NOT a judgement (see first attachment). Congratulations, John, you just committed defamation against that man. 4) Your second screenshot defeats itself. I've went ahead and marked it up for you (see 2nd attachment). You keep posting a WITHDRAWAL of an attempt. Now I know you don't know what that means since your FICO score is sub-500 and you can't buy a house, but that means it was withdrawn due to error. If you do a public records search, the bank in question stated that the note was sold between holding companies and the payments he was making weren't being properly applied to the new account, not that he wasn't paying. Meanwhile, there is nothing in the court history that says the judgement AOL got against you was dismissed or even satisfied. So you're lying. You're really bad at this. And oh, by the way, Johnny Boy, I'm gonna go ahead and forward all of this to him, cause now he has a rock solid defamation suit against you. And he's litigious AF. Enjoy, bitchboy, heh.

  @Capt_Fishpaste Agreed. Why fret about stuff that may never happen? I start looking up players' stats and profiles when I see a photo of them standing outside the AOL holding up a #Sunderland scarf. #SAFC
