    When AOL first enabled UseNet (newsgroups) they had a bug that posted multiple times. Additionally, AOL users weren’t versed in internet etiquette so they would shout (all caps). AOL users were soon seen as the universal noobs . This more and more turned AOL into “old people” internet… like how you probably think of Facebook today.
