The Internet Isn't Only For Lonely And Depressed People!

from the really?--wow! dept

I can't believe these days that we still need articles telling us that the average internet user isn't a lonely and depressed social misfit cut off from the world. I thought we got past all of that four or five years ago. However, here's the BBC telling us to be happy - we're not a bunch of losers for being online. Of course, I think the only people who were worried were those researchers who were trying to make something out of nothing.

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
