Weirdly, 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.
