I am a long-time AOL user, and I beg you:
Save AOL.
Your usership is down over 50% in the last 10 years.
50% !!
Remember where you USED to be??
So why is this happening?
Let me answer...
DUH.
What you are experiencing is a really bad business model.
I have to plug my nose (figuratively) to get past all the Huffington/Puffington Post political garbage and (finally) read
my emails- which I do less and less.
I'm not alone.
Your bias is about as hard not to notice as a Seal in a bathtub.
Yeah, Gmail is looking better all the time (except, of course they'll follow my every move).
Still, that might be preferable.
