The Internet Is Not Fun Anymore
from the says-who? dept
Jim Cramer at theStreet.com has decided that the internet isn't fun anymore. I disagree with him. The fact is that there are plenty of businesses on the web that are no longer in the "fun" stage - and part of the reason why is because of Jim Cramer and the endless financial analysis that he pushes. Of course, that's a good thing for some businesses. However, there are still people and companies that are doing fun things with the internet. The problem is that not all of them are simply looking to profit off of it (which is apparently less interesting to Cramer). The difference may simply be that you need to look a little harder to find the fun sites.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
