Serena Williams Kicks The Online Shopping Habit
from the celebrity-internet-addicts dept
When do we get an article detailing all the stories of celebrity internet addicts? The latest is that tennis star Serena Williams says she started shopping online because she was sick of being recognized in stores - but then got addicted and was spending six hours a day shopping online (only 3 hours on days she had tennis matches). She says she's now beat the addiction. That might be one case where having low bandwidth could be helpful. How much stuff can you buy that you'd spend half of your waking (non-tennis-playing) hours shopping online?
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.
