Ads - Sponsored V-Gift Controversy

Aug 17, 2007 22:19

The ongoing controversy surrounding ads on the LiveJournal site has erupted again with the latest news post. Other than a brief mention of the "policy discussion" on lj_biz, the post served to announce new sponsored v-gifts that any LJ user can send for free (up to 10 per week). Many users are complaining in the comments, pointing out that this is advertising that paid users will see ( paid users are not supposed to see ads). Others have gotten the idea to send sponsored v-gifts to both news and lj_biz to voice their displeasure.

Information on how to block the sponsored v-gifts is here. Also, how to permanently delete any v-gifts you receive.
