Bill Gurley Discusses the Incentives of Cold, Hard Cash
from the making-money dept
The latest Bill Gurley column about what he considers the next stage in the internet economy: people making money. Of course, you might think that a lot of people have already made money on the internet, but he's talking about a broader group of people who use or participate in different services on the web and get paid for that. It's (as always) an interesting read, though I'm not sure I completely agree with his conclusions, and his history of the internet isn't completely accurate.
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
