LJ: 10 Years of Stupidity and Counting
oh noes lj is doing something teh stupids again everybody leave1!!!1
... This happens every year. Why are people acting surprised?
LJ is just hopping on the bandwagon of "Cross-post EVERYTHING to EVERYWHERE" that all the other websites in existence are doing. It's not a new concept; they're just slow to catch up. Protesting and messing with CSS coding and leaving will have absolutely no effect on their bottom line. And I can guarantee they will do something else equally scandalous and infuriating within six months to a year. My oldest LJ account is over nine years old: I've seen a lot of B.S., and I know there will be more to come.
(Actually, the fact that I've spent about half my life on-line is kind of depressing.)
Anyway. If you have strong feelings about it, do what you need to do. If you haven't a clue what I'm talking about, it's just as well: don't waste your energy on it.
Speaking of wasting energy: I can't follow any more parenting drama. I just can't. It's draining and I have too much to do, and too little time on-line. I need to empty out my Google Reader. A lot of the blogs I follow have some great material, but they also have a lot of, "Take Action!" posts that I can't deal with.
