  @Jeri59686445 @Acyn No problem, I actually worked for Warner Brothers while they were making this one and had a chance to talk to Chris on the phone about it while we set up his guest spot in my AOL Forum. I miss doing that.

  @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.

  Lisa sent me the AOL email less than a month before she suddenly freaked out on me because I asked for divorce. And she's now lied to the judge AND police trying to get me in serious trouble and caused me an almost insurmountable amount of stress. I JUST wanted some SPACE.

  Bending Spoons is the most interesting acquisition machine in tech right now, and the more you dig into it... The weirder it becomes. They buy aging digital brands that still have users and brand recognition but have lost their edge, think Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Meetup, AOL, Eventbrite, and a pile of others. Then they do the thing almost nobody else has the stomach for: they gut the headcount hard, move operations onto their own centralized platform, raise prices, tighten free tiers, and run the products with a much smaller team of their own people (“Spooners”). The original staff is mostly gone. In some cases the entire original team was shown the door. Imagine... Entire staff gone! Mosaic: 330 people out because only the assets were bought. WeTransfer: 75%. Evernote: from hundreds down to a fraction. Vimeo: most of the workforce, including the video team. The list goes on. They are transparent about it in filings as they call the workforce reductions part of the “transformation.” Does it work financially? At the operating level, yes. Revenue went from $387M in 2023 to $1.31B in 2025, with Q1 2026 already at $601M. Operating income is healthy (around 20-21% margins recently) and adjusted operating margins are even better, climbing toward 50%. GAAP net income is messier because of debt interest and acquisition-related costs, but the core engine is printing cash once the cuts land. They target aggressive IRRs on deals and hold everything forever with no exit plan. Compare that to the usual suspects. Constellation Software is the cleanest public parallel. Same “buy and never sell” philosophy, same focus on capital allocation. But Constellation is decentralized: hundreds of small vertical B2B software companies that mostly run themselves. Sticky, mission-critical products, low churn, funded largely from internal cash flow, modest leverage. Steady compounding over two decades. Bending Spoons is the opposite operating model: hyper-centralized platform, consumer and legacy digital brands (higher churn risk), heavy debt, and much more aggressive restructuring. Higher targeted returns, higher variance. Private equity shops like Thoma Bravo or Vista do the cost-cutting and leverage part. The difference is they buy to sell in a few years. Bending Spoons has no intention of flipping anything. They want the portfolio to compound indefinitely. That permanent-capital mindset is closer to Berkshire than classic PE, even if the day-to-day execution looks more like a ruthless turnaround team with a shared AI-heavy tech stack. The model has clear strengths: speed of integration, willingness to make hard decisions, ability to extract margin from businesses that previous owners treated as lifestyle companies or growth stories. It also has obvious risks; consumer products are less sticky than vertical software, debt service is real, and the long-term durability of heavily optimized legacy brands under continuous price pressure is still being tested. Newer big acquisitions (Vimeo, Eventbrite, AOL) are still in the middle of the transformation. Whether you like the approach or find it cold is secondary. The numbers and the consistency of the playbook are hard to ignore. Bending Spoons is running a specialized version of the software roll-up with more aggression on costs and more centralization than the classic players. It is working so far. The interesting question is how far the model scales before the easy targets dry up or the leverage becomes a problem.

  @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?

  @asymtrades @ChrisCamillo @KrisPatel99 agreed ..open source is the way and those compute resources will just be allotted to open models .. the only question is will OpenAI and Anthropic be what AOL is to firefox or what Apple is to android .. will there be a significant market for a premium service or not ..
