The Rotten Dot Com refers to the collapse of numerous internet-based companies during the early 2000s, following the Dot-Com Bubble burst in the year 2000. Many businesses had been overvalued and relied heavily on venture capital funding, with little regard for actual profitability. As investment dried up and customers became more discerning, many of these companies failed or were forced to merge with larger firms. The term "Rotten Dot Com" reflects the decay of this once-thriving sector, marking a turning point in the evolution of the internet economy.
