The Death Of ArsDigita
from the interesting-read,-but... dept
Content-Wire has republished Eve Andersson's account of the collapse of ArsDigita. It's a biased, but interesting read. While I can understand how annoyed and upset the folks from ArsDigita are, I still think they should have known what was coming. Anyone who read anything (or spoke to others) about what VCs do when they invest in your company would have known that it's likely that you're going to lose control. It's for that reason that you should chose your investment options very carefully - and if you do go with VC money, be very careful who you pick.
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
