Yes, yes, revenue. I am not quite so far out to lunch as to fail to grasp that businesses make money, or that ads can help them get some. But… everything brad said, and then some.

WTF. Okay, I've got a free (plus) account, do I get to keep it that way, since I started it like two years ago?

That's really shitty. And probably going to keep a lot of people from making accounts. I certainly wouldn't; I'm still steadfastly refusing to "upgrade."

Well, it sounds like they may tinker with what "plus" means in the future-I say that not because I've seen them say anything about it, but because it sounds like they're looking for ways to optimize income, and that's a logical next step. And of course I don't object to that, but, FFS, people, at least try to understand how the thing you now own works.

I'm still steadfastly refusing to "upgrade."

I wish I had that kind of willpower. It's a bit embarrassing, how much I am willing to shell out for something as profoundly frivolous as userpics. *face-palm*

I reeeeeeeeally have to steel myself. It used to be fine, but then I got into DW and the sheer volume of canon is quite a challenge. "I refuse to spend money on lj because you have too many friends, Doctor!"
