Technically speaking, even AOL kept growing into the late 2000s. It didn't stop mailing out CDs till 2006. IIRC its userbase didn't max out until well after "still being on AOL" had turned into a meme.
- olalonde 2y agoAccording to Wikipedia, AOL peaked around 2001-2002. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL#/media/File:Aol_subscribers_Q201-Q407.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL#/media/File:Aol_subscriber...

- RajT88 2y agoWeirdly, having an aol.com address is a badge of honor among conservatives. At least, some article which I can't find now said so (and it seems to check out among people in my circles who actively use their AOL address). I still have mine from when I was a teenager, although I don't pay for it and never will. As an email provider, the main difference between it and Gmail is that Gmail will never ask me to install security software of dubious value, whereas AOL webmail will do so frequently.
