Going for Broke, Super Bowl Style
from the silly-for-most dept
Some of the dot coms that risked everything on their Super Bowl ads last year really lost it all! It’s more of an amusing point because there were a few that advertised and were successful but it seems to depended just as everything else does on your target audience (it reminds me of gamblers that use their homes for collateral and then end up losing, duh! If you can’t afford to lose don’t bet that much!).
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
