  I think David Zaslav will go down in media history, with Steve Case, as the two greatest salesmen to ever rip off clueless suitors. Case convinced Time Warner/Gerald Levin that AOL was far more valuable than it was, and Zaslav sold Warner Brothers Discovery for a ruinous price.

  @RealJamesWoods So true, but I’ll tell you they’ve got me. I’m a hook, line, and sinker Apple guy. Why easy their product was amazing from the start, and on top of that they kept the architecture and framework the same similar to AOL! I’m waiting for the next Apple like most of us until then. Yeah I don’t want android it sucks. There’s too many variations. Apple is Apple. Let’s go Tesla phone! Or the next brilliant mind let’s get it done; we’re already!!

  @FCJaymes All I had was AOL IM and very limited texts even in high school, and none of that before haha. Social media is horrible for the mind of a kid. I can't imagine growing up with it. It would have been an entirely different experience, and I doubt in a good way

  The early days of AOL were just as bad as current social media except we didn't have it everywhere we went

  23. **Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (2008)** — Lost over $18.5 billion nominally, equivalent to over **$20.0 billion** today due to global credit declines and equity write-downs. 24. **Alcatel (2001)** — Suffered massive merger-related write-downs and market destruction during the telecom equipment collapse, crossing the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted threshold. 25. **Swiss Re (2008)** — Incurred tens of billions in asset impairments and structured credit losses during the financial crisis, placing its real-loss event at the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted mark. The Three Eras of Corporate Destruction What stands out is how concentrated these losses are. The Dot-Com and Telecom Collapse (2000–2002) The telecom bubble produced the single greatest concentration of corporate losses ever observed. AOL Time Warner, JDS Uniphase, Qwest, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Vivendi, Alcatel, and NTT all appear on the list. Trillions of dollars in market value evaporated as companies wrote down acquisitions, fiber networks, wireless licenses, and internet-related assets purchased at bubble-era valuations. The Global Financial Crisis (2008–2009) AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citigroup, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re, and Mitsubishi UFJ all suffered enormous losses as mortgage securities, derivatives, and structured credit markets collapsed. Unlike many dot-com write-downs, these losses reflected real capital destruction that threatened the stability of the global financial system. Industry-Specific Collapses General Motors appears three separate times on the list, highlighting decades of structural challenges within the auto industry. United Airlines reflects the severe financial strain associated with bankruptcy and restructuring. Nakheel demonstrates how quickly even seemingly unstoppable real-estate booms can reverse. The Half-Trillion-Dollar Club The four largest losses alone account for nearly $470 billion in inflation-adjusted value destruction: * **AOL Time Warner (2002):** ~$143 billion * **AIG (2008):** ~$128 billion * **JDS Uniphase (2001):** ~$104 billion * **Fannie Mae (2009):** ~$94 billion Combined, these four annual losses destroyed more value than the current market capitalization of many of the world's largest public companies. The lesson from this ranking is simple: the biggest corporate losses rarely occur because a company has a bad quarter or even a bad year. They happen when an entire narrative breaks—whether it is internet mania, telecom euphoria, housing prices that supposedly never fall, or financial engineering that appears risk-free until suddenly it isn't.
