Couldnt believe it when AOL bought Time Warner about 15 years ago for 160 billion dollars and the relationship became a disaster for both companies.
Verizon now owns AOL but - few people may remember - AOL also owns the Huffington Puffington Post. The Hitlery decision makers probably think the Huff Post users first have to dial up into the AOL website to get to it!
You can do that right on the welcome screen without signing into the AOL portal at all.
