I don't remember Yahoo or AOL dying in the bubble. (They died later)

AOL had been slowly dying since it's 2000 merger with Time Warner. It's just so large that it's been flailing about for almost two decades.

I'll give you Yahoo. While their current demise may have been related to wounds from the dot com bubble, I think they could have been fine had they not overexerted themselves trying to return to glory. I can't blame them for trying, though.
