Marc Andreessen says AOL killed the early internet on a single day in September 1993. Before that day, the internet had maybe two million users. They were the smartest two million people in the world. Andreessen says it felt like Athens in 500 BC. "The most pure, clean, intellectual, vibrant space" since the Greeks. No advertising. No commerce. No spam. Just the smartest engineers, scientists, and academics talking to each other. Then America Online bought a connection to it. In September 1993, AOL pumped two million normal people directly onto the internet. It became known as **Eternal September**. Andreessen, who was building Mosaic at the time, watched it happen. "That's the day the internet changed." Pre-1993 internet veterans had a phrase. Every September, when the new freshmen got their college email accounts, the discussion forums would briefly drop in quality before stabilizing. After AOL connected, the September never ended. The smartest two million were swallowed by the next two million, then twenty million, then five billion. Andreessen, looking back: "I'm pro that. I'm glad that happened. But the pro and the con of that is that took the internet from this ivory tower kind of thing to this basically mainstream consumer ordinary people thing." Was AOL right to open the gates?
