  I know used to scam people. Worled for Bell South. Had customer call needed me to setup his internet so that the 40 dollars he was paying AOL would work. After bit of probing, I figured out that Bell South was going charge he 80 a month for the actual internet. All he was paying AOL 40 for was to use their home screen.

  I ended up convincing him that he didn’t need pay AOL a dime. That we would provide the internet home screen included.

  So wouldn’t surprise me if they were charging people for dailup they weren’t using. Also this said thay were shutting down the program, not stop charging people.

  TIL dail up is still a thing fucking crazy.

  Bet you million bucks though, he still wants you to keep using it for your therapy. He wants you to feed as much data as possible about yourself. That data is worth billions.

  And I on the other hand hopes it gets banned. The app is responsible for spreading right wing talking points and the amount of mis information is to high. My dad and brother are both mega heads thanks to that app.
