I would like to what you guys/gals think about whether the web is really just an over-rated skill set because some people (no matter how skilled they might be) will never amount to nothing on the web.
I am NOT including myself here, since my last site was back quite a few years ago when there was no such thing as web 2.0 and while my skill-set is good to design websites, I am not as dedicated anymore in web developing, so my designing has gone on the flip side. (Boy do I feel old) 
I base this idea on many site owners giving up (shutting down their sites)...Now even if the recession is part of the problem, why would someone create a site, good enough to be called a 'web 2.0 site' and still shut it down? Ok, maybe they might lose a job (supporting it), but technically I thought people who build a website for business as an example, are preparing to be in it for the long haul? I just don't think that even a basic 'free-hosting' account is worth setting up with-out at least trying to make something off of it due to having to have a computer - electric to run it - and a skill to type, not to mention the ability to use an operating system, use ftp, an html editor, and web browser.
Wouldn't that partially be based on the fact that they probably aren't generating any revenue from their site(s)?
