More Backlash To Gullible Consumers Day
from the who-believes-the-hype? dept
Thanks to Andrew Leonard at Salon for stealing (ok, ok, he probably came up with it on his own) my idea that it's fairly amusing to see companies trying to get people to support their desire to get rich by marching on Washington or buying stuff online - all on the same day. I still haven't heard of anyone (other than some random press people who don't know any better) who actually thinks either of these things are a good idea.
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
