My mom was still paying for dial-up AOL in 2016. She had been paying them $20 a month for over a decade while having high-speed internet that she was also paying for.

When I asked her why she didn't cancel it, she said she would lose her email.

So I canceled it because AOL provides free email because they make money off of the ads.
