Webby Moneymaker Awards

What a scam... I mean great set up. You pay $200 (a mere $100 US for personal sites) for the honour of being included. No wonder the whole thing has become entirely commercial and fricking worthless. With few exceptions the sites that won are nothing special and often high on their own spam content.

Blah! I would equate them with the American oscars too. Full of hot air and bull dung.

An award you pay for is worthless.

I'm so disgusted. I don't think it was always a paying thing. If only sites that pay to win can be judged what is the point? They can call themselves the best site on the web but it's a worthless title. They're only being judged in a small pond, full of fat fish. Those of us who have sites up and do not pay to win an award could be better, without the side of spam.

It really annoys me that while people protest and get all paranoid about spam they also go all out to promote it. Too bad there isn't a real Webby Award, for real sites offering real content, not a load of dung (bought and paid for).
