Not many people noticed the ads on
news on the post around when they were introduced, but a quite a few have been noticing the new front page ads on the latest
news post.
brad posts about being against ads on the front page, as well. But, as we all know, there are some issues you just can't win.
I also appended the story of The Goose Who Laid the Golden Eggs to the post, as it seemed appropriate.
I don't really expect he'll unscreen the post, but at least he should get the point.

One of the points, if I remember well, is that he/they/LJ wanted to be able to do more, to grow bigger and that required more money, more employees, etc. Well, they did but at what price?

Brad had similar arguments about LJ from the first day I worked with him, back in 2000. The problem wasn't that it sucked up his time. The problem was that:
1> He couldn't let go and delegate.
2> He didn't play well with others, pissing off the great majority of open source developers who came forward to help.
