And I'm guessing enough boomers DID subscribe for years to make it worth it, if my anecdotal experience is anything close to normal.

I used to work for/with AOL in the 2010s. They still had a lot of grannies subbed to dial-up plans.

Can concur. My baby boomer dad was an AOL subscriber up until his death in 2021. He ditched dialup in 2002 but just never stopped paying for AOL.
