Question:
Did Chamath Palihapitiya actually have an impact at Winamp or did he just come in at the end?

If he had an impact it was not a positive one.
IIRC he joined the bizdev side well after we were acquired by AOL. and I'd blame him for driving it into the ground via making shitty deals and preventing us from doing things we wanted to do (though whether it was a significant impact or it was other people who were ultimately responsible for that, could be debated, and also my memory of it could be wrong, was a long time ago).

Thanks for your honest reflection! I recently heard him attribute himself in this video and that was new info for me
