I also have some old people that like AOL because of their dial-in 1200baud accounts. No problemo, as we now say.

Steve Case was a convenient villain when people first started worrying about privacy and access when using the inner-tubes.

Of course now with much bigger/badder boys playing the game, AOL seems almost hippy.
google, ibm, apple, verizon, nsa, baidu, etc.com

Got stuff stored on it. I caved and got a gmail account several years ago bc of a new phone.

I keep it bc for a nominal monthly charge I get McAfee covering 4 devices, plus free subscription to AARP. Whoop-dee-doo on AARP. 😄
