And I think he’s right.

Beyond the fact that some considered the design to be ugly, there was alot of invective hurled in the direction of Michael Arrington over the TechCrunch design based on the fact that he was now aggressively moneitizing his traffic, rather than taking more of a “Web 2.0 Approach” – which I call “losing money”.
