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

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.

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