  AOL Instant Messenger never needed a data center. I fail to see your point. Can I host a social media server? I fail to see your point.

  @ClayTravis I was 14 when the strike it and a die hard Yankees fan, I was devastated- I did come back in 1995. I watch baseball every single day, and bet on it. Not parlays, never a parlay or prop bet - real actual old school bets, my minimum bet is $1200. Sometimes a lot more. I bet $9000 on the Mets earlier tonight because I liked them a lot. So I bet heavy and regularly. I'm down about $20K this baseball seaod but that's besides the point and a long way to go. In terms of the game - baseball has a major flaw that's like a cancer. Strikeouts. NL struck out 15 times in the all star game. The pitchers are collectively better than ever, and the hitters are no longer embarrassed to strike out. That's a deadly combination. Players like Luis Arraez, who hits .330, hardly ever strikes out, and gets key hits are not valued. Arraez could barely muster up a 1 year deal. These baseball executives aren't the sharpest. Back to the main point - if baseball goes on a long hiatus, which I think they will - if you ask me the under/over is May 2028. Because once 2027 is lost, they aren't going to play chicken again until 2028. So around May 2028 is when I suspect they would cobble together a deal. If they do what I suspect the sport will never ever be the same. It will be completely decimated. Revenue will be slashed. It will make 1994 look like a party. In 1994 there was nothing to even do, we didn't even have dial up AOL yet in house. Now there are endless options and endless entertainment. There are influencers (whatever you want to call them) that we never even heard of who are talented and get tens of millions of views- and the kids love them. Throw in the shorts that warped all the kids attention span, and everything else on social media sites - there is endless amounts of entertainment and competition for a buck. MLB is clearly delusional if they think are going to go on an 18 month hiatus and thing they are going to make $12-$13 billion in revenue again. They will not. And to be super frank - the game is pretty boring when compared to college football, NFL, or even the NBA (hate to admit it), if I didn't bet on this **** I wouldn't even watch it. MLB will completely destroy itself if there is a hiatus to the degree that they can't begin to understand. It would be like a nuclear bomb dropped on the sport, clearly they are all too dumb (owners and players ) to realize. I can't see any way there isn't a work stoppage. Going to be MLB Armageddon.

  @KydJustice Guaranteed money didn't almost ruin wrestling. Lack of variety almost did. Guaranteed money in the form of Ted Turner ensured WCW stayed afloat. AOL/Time Warner's disinterest in keeping WCW led to the Bottleneck Era. Brooks is being full of ****. As per usual.

  How do all these people have 10s of thousands of "followers"? People that don't necessarily post anything new or just re-posts of other peoples' thoughts & work. I don't get it. I've been a member for a while now (w/ THIS acct - my orig was cancelled by Twitter during COVID for telling the factual scientific truth about masks based on my years in Bio-Nanotechnology). Is it strictly from those "Follow" train lists? I learned early on to stay away from those - I check out EVERYBODY I ever follow first & personally (not necessarily relying upon Grok's "Profile Summary", although those may get me interested to take a gander). I try to engage those who engage with me and avoid silly flame-wars. I don't post to GET followers, I generally post current stream-of-consciousness thoughts, what's on my mind at that moment & not really organizing them into proper English "articles". Plus I'm not really good at pithy comments - I speak from my heart & soul and EXPLAIN myself & my reasoning for coming to different conclusions. And I typically don't engage in irrational, emotional hyperbole & name-calling. I truly want to know what others think and LEARN (you're never too old to learn!). For DECADES on BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems - pre-graphical internet days, modem-connected social systems for discussion, research & debates), the Usenets (newsgroups, pre-graphical/HTTP/HTML internet days when time on the internet was purchased through 3rd party vendors like CompuServe by the hour - 70s & 80s, pre-AOL (which is slightly pre-HTTP/HTML/Mozilla-Netscape graphical internet revolution) - where everything was command-line driven in ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO set or ATASCII or the like). Am I just too old, boring, long-winded, obnoxious, opinionated or what? I know its annoying with me posting about my health, but I've gotta vent SOMEWHERE and NO ONE on X knows me personally. Not that it matters so much now, I'm heading down the stretch-run to Home plate, but even paying for Elon's blue-checkmark, I don't get many hits/views or responses/engagement, it is pretty comparable to my "free" account that I use solely for sports-related stuff where I have 1 whole "follower", which is probably one of those online ho-bags. It's not that I'm looking to "earn" from X and I'll NEVER post things just for click-bait value. I'm just really curious how these other accounts accrue so many followers for literally not doing much,

  Researchers tracked 344,753 websites over 18 months to map where American attention actually goes online. The answer is email. Gmail alone is 16% of all desktop time. Add Yahoo, Outlook, and AOL, and inboxes eat nearly a quarter of every hour Americans spend at a computer. That's double the combined total of Facebook, X, Reddit, Instagram, Discord, and WhatsApp. The legacy numbers are the wild part. Yahoo Mail, at 3.71%, gets more attention than ChatGPT, Reddit, and Netflix combined. AOL Mail, a service most people assume died with dial-up, beats Instagram and Discord combined. Yahoo still has roughly 225 million active mail users, skewing Gen X and Boomer: people who opened an account in 1999 and never saw a reason to leave. Google Search sits at just 2.33%. The front door of the entire internet gets less time than Yahoo's inbox, because search is engineered to end fast. Every second you spend on a results page is a second Google failed. The chart measures desktop, which explains the shape. Your phone is where you play. Your computer is where you work. And the work of being an American in 2026, the bills, the receipts, the school notices, the job applications, still runs through a protocol invented in 1971. Strip away 30 years of apps and the desktop internet is a post office with better graphics.
