>Exactly. The "net" will return to what it was once before. >Usenet, e-mail, IRC, and whatever people happen to be willing to >do for free. Of course I exaggerate... Yes you do. The net will not go away. Yahoo, SI, many other useful sites all started out w/ real, normal people goofing around trying to make something useful. If they eventually become billionaires, then have financial crashes destroy their empires, that will not stop OTHER people from continuing to goof around, trying to make something useful. I'll keep using the sites they create if (as your exaggerate) yahoo/SI all fail. I invest when I think the stock will go up, not when I think there is a certain 10-year future outlook for the business. In spite of that, I won't invest where ad money is the main driver behind the business, since to me, that decreases the odds of that business working out...
