We Built This Economy On Indecency And Depravity
from the back-to-basics dept
bfrank writes "John D. Rockefeller must be rolling over in his grave right now. This may just be a wake-up call for all the budding industrialists and entrepreneurs out there: Build pornography into your business plan! For example, look at the case of Duocash, as reported in the New York Times. For once, someone admits that the economy is built on the pixel-pushing, flesh-peddling business of adult entertainment. The writer even goes as far as to say that porn could be considered the closest to "recession-proof" in the times of economic hardship."
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
