Why didn't AOL, Yahoo then succeed in the same way in USA?
I'm very curious if we shall see the `minitelization` of the Internet, ( `minitel` service popular in France pre-WWW? )
- takanori 8y agoUp to this point, if you could amass any sort of audience, it was easier and more lucrative to monetize via ads than attempt user subscriptions/micro transactions. I recall hearing that VCs would advise their consumer apps NOT to monetize at all so in acquisition talks they could position potential instead of actual amount / user.
