Failure to monetize websites caused the dot com bust?

The web has always been a commercial enterprise for capitalists but when people think it should be “free” is when it gets into trouble. It has no real market “value” when it’s free and not making money, unless it’s totally subsidized, either by the website owners or the govt.

Not especially talking about websites. During the first Obama campaign timeframe he was preaching green energy—natural gas. If he’s making a statement, he plans to buy or sell something at an ‘improved’ price.
