Paid Users WANTING Ads
I hope I've tagged this post correctly, and that it hasn't already been hashed out in another post. (It's my first post to the community, so I'm nervous: please forgive. :)
I made a post to suggestions recently, and another user commented to ask why his hadn't shown up yet. I wouldn't mention it except that his suggestion (which you can see here) has to do with ads. In short, his idea is this:
To allow ad revenue sharing for paid users (permanent accounts holders, and early adopters), add a second version of the print_ad function that will allow paid users to pass their AdSense code to it which then replaces livejournal's code when the ads are displayed on their personal journal.
He says his idea would still fall within the bounds of who sees ads and who doesn't, but if we can't even trust paid accounts not to have ads, what are we supposed to do then? I assume that logged-in paid users wouldn't see ads on these journals, but then we might not even want to link to other paid accounts for fear they are whoring themselves peddling to visitors. :(
I certainly plan to give it a if it does show up on suggestions, but does anyone think this kind of thing will be popular among paid users? Are people that greedy?
