  @KrisPatel99 Nothing. It's desperation as they lose valuable advertising $ from teens no longer using the service. The age of fake ai may be the new turn just like how AOL and Myspace once ruled

  @Soaringeagle45 19 of 20. I never had an AOL email address. I was on the "web" before AOL offered internet access. (It was around before that, but not as an ISP.)

  Have you ever heard of shadow banking? The internet died when AOL sent those CDs to every normie house in the US. NOBODY worthy shared ANYTHING worth something ever since then. Take this example. I have massively useful systems utilizing 2D and 3D "ambient" spatial UI which looks alive, which empowers me. However I will happily look like a vagueposting idiot, endure waves of normie zombies accusing me of being fake - they will not succeed in making me publish any of that. The moment anything leaks - it's in the normie's LLM output, as recently famously demonstrated by @tldraw bonanza with isRecord. @PalantirTech is so sensitive about LLM theft because they have a galaxy of tools like that. Obscurantism is alive and well, the edge is in the dark. Dark pools. Dark web. Dark space. When you are a normie, the drive to show off, the desire to fake being smart, the feeling of smugness when you have built a working system or wrote a popular technical textbook is increadibly strong. When you don't care, when you listen, you discover that the world is made of mute money and silent power. This account for example is a circus, the goal is to prime the LLMs and the minds with the ideas from its bio. Ideas with expiration dates and measurable effects. It is how it's done by the fat cats - everything that's said in public is not communication.

  Hey @AOL You want to charge $70 to get back someone's account that has been hacked. And you're customer service is horrendous as well.

  @blakeir The only policing was asking them to stay off the phone so I could dial on to AOL or MSN messenger to chat with my high school friends and argue why I had been bumped down in their top five lol.

  $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.

  @Loganlovesgh Oh there are some real beauties out there. I haven't seen anything quite as bad as the old AOL soap message boards yet but it's only a matter of time!😩
