Slack was probably the last straw that broke aim. We used aim internally at aol for work related messaging up until slack came out and people started using it one team at a time. It got to the point that so many teams were using it that aol bought an enterprise license for it and that was basically it for aim as a product.

Didn't AIM for consumers shut down long before slack came out?

  No, Slack was initially released in 2013. AIM was shut down at the end of 2017.

To think that AIM could've been Slack. In the 90's and 2000's, we used it just like people use Slack today.
