Kidding aside, you're a smart guy. What are you worried about? by Ajit Pal, "Thought Leader" 12/02/2017, 9:09pm PST
I remember using AOL in '95 and they charged you by the minute -- so nobody really used it much except to browse the news and check e-mail, then fucked off back to their real lives. Then they got the bright idea to charge a flat fee for unlimited access and their community grew rapidly. Also I guess Earthlink and some other start-ups were threatening their position. Flat fee has been the standard for about 22 years now. Why does any sane person think we're going back to the bad old days of 3.50$ per hour of use?
