Blue Collar Academics Using The Internet
from the odd-stories dept
I wonder what caused this story to be written. It's about the fact that people who grew up in blue collar environments and are now professors may not understand some of the high class ways of academics, and therefore, they're turning to the internet. Seems like a pretty niche site: academics from blue collar backgrounds. Of course, a year ago this site would probably have raised $40 million.
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.
