Let The Net Run Your Life
from the for-those-indecisive-folks-out-there dept
These reality shows keep getting more and more ridiculous. The latest is one in the UK that will let people on the internet make major life decisions for five contestants. Everyday for about two weeks, they have to follow the directions of millions of internet users. Now, I remember a year or so ago when some folks hooked up their thermostat to the internet to let everyone there control it, and what did they do? That's right, they pumped that sucker up as high as could go, because it's fun to watch people suffer, apparently. I would expect similar results from this game.
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
