the problem that capitalism is slowly realizing is that it's hard to make money off of the computer revolution, precisely because it saves labor. aside from the people doing hardware manufacture, it's hard to turn an actual profit even after stretching. running a web forum or anything like it is especially hard, given how it's hard to be a neutral and useful service while also being able to sell ads.
