AOL: tries to be hip but can’t be bothered to keep my mom’s intarweebs running.

In much the same way Max Headroom was the real human being Matt Frewer.

I recently have been enjoying the garbage conservative trolls this week on the Blind app.
So many of them work for Oath!
Which is consistent with the AOL employees I have met in real life. Trolls, dumbasses and crazy full of themselves. It is no wonder Shingy was one of their MVP’s.

I think Carlos Kaiser was the master, somehow getting into elite sports teams despite not having the skills to play at that level

At first read I thought this was a time-warp post from 2009, not 2019.

That’s typical AOL. Ten years out of date. Shingo transitioned from head of marketing to “digital prophet” in 2010, about a decade after everyone else had jettisoned their own parasites. Nobody was around to warn them of course, because the rest of the tech industry had long since moved on, so for nine glorious years he got paid to do dick-all.
I have to wonder if this “departure” wasn’t the result of some executive finally asking the question “Has our digital prophet ever gotten us ahead of a single tech industry development in his entire time working here?”

Con-men of the highest caliber!
Vaguely reminds me of Kurzweil, except Kurzweil actually invented things, like OCR.

IKR? I thought he was just an actor playing a character cooked up by the marketing department, like Ronald McDonald or the Geico Gecko or something.
