Keeping Up the Dot Com Ad Spending
from the they're-everywhere dept
Feel like you can't get away from all those internet ads? Here's an article that shows companies are spending even more on radio and television ads, so expect it to only get worse. The thing that annoys me is that so many of these commercials are exactly the same. Something very weird happens, and then a blank screen with the name of the company bangs onto the screen. While some of them are funny, they all begin to blend together.
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
