Art Is Cheaper Than Therapy
from the dot-com-failures-into-art dept
An article about the new documentary movie about the rise and fall of Kozmo points out that many people in the audience felt the need to compare it to Startup.com - another documentary about the rise and fall of a dot com startup. There are a ton of other similar projects in the works (or already completed) and the writer's theory is that this is all a form of therapy. That reliving the failure of the dot com world is just a cheaper form of therapy. You can go to a shrink, or you can laugh at the fools (who seem oh-so-familiar) who built their companies with such grand visions (and little else).
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
