I almost threw up.

Today's webmaster is an emtpy shell of what we were pre 2000.

What do you think are causes?

My list:

1. Pie is smaller
2. Noobs want everything
3. Noobs don't want to learn anything
4. Nothing is new in this industy

Those are all valid points. I think 2 and 3 are the biggest reasons. Add to that, the fact that they don't go into this thinking it's a business and one has to work at it to make money. And because the pie is smaller and surfers are a little smarter these days, one has to work a little smarter and a little harder to get started. Those that are looking for beer money are quite happy with $100/month, so why bother working at it.
