Oh, Jesus fuck, people.

Okay. So. Livejournal has started up a middle tier option between Paid and Free, which gives some of the perks of paid without paying if you agree to A) see ads and B) have ads on your page

Its 30 actually. And I have at least one person on my flist who uses close to that...

But basically spot on otherwise. Then again I've got a paid account so the whole thing is irrelevant to me...

The sponsored level gets 15. ;)

I must hang my head in shame. For Eric was right, it is twenty voice posts...

The world is getting too complicated. The last thing I need is another option in my life. I'm ready to move to that sheep ranch in NZ, kplzthx.

I pay for the user pics. :D Extra even.

(Also, I've very tempted to get a permenant account....)

But yeah, I don't see the big fuss over the ads thing.

I pay attention to Livejournal because I love Livejournal as the place that it is. That's why I got a paid account as soon as I knew there was one, and a permanent account when I learned about those. I can barely manage to remember I have 20 user pics, let alone deal with getting any more. I was fine when I only had 6. It's the friends I made that matter to me, not what pictures I place on my posts. Half the time, I just choose one at random anyway. "Hmm, haven't used that one in a while" -Frisk

In my day, our LJ didn't have ads... and we updated uphill both ways!

cheeerist. am i the only person that didn't notice? eek.

anywho, it was only a matter of time. what doesn't have ads these days? (even my "non commercial" radio station has underwriting, which is eerily close to ads...)

c'est la vie.

I didn't notice it either. I guess all my friends have paid accounts or are (like me) happy with free.
