Dot Com Depressed
from the not-so-surprising dept
Yet another story about all these dot commers who are now more depressed than ever thanks to the dot come downturn. Apparently many are feeling a sense of loss (for those millions of dollars they never had anyway) or a sense of failure (for not getting rich, apparently, rather than for not building something real and sustainable). It's good to see that no matter what's going on in Silicon Valley, psychologists will figure out a way to profit off of it.
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

Not the first time
I think you took the wrong angle with this story. You want the "hey hey, those crazy diarists have been suckered again by one of their own" angle rather than the bewildered "won't someone please think of the children?" Mrs. Lovejoy angle.
