Rise And Fall Of The Internet - As Told By Receipts
from the they-paint-such-a-picture dept
An amusing column of someone going through all their receipts from the last year as they prepare to do their taxes. The receipts tell a bit of the dot com story as there's a bunch of excess spending, and other "expensed" meals or other questionable expenses. This is why throwing a ridiculous amount of money at people to run a company doesn't make them run a very smart company. It's very easy to spend money. It's a lot more difficult to actually make money.
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
