It'll be good to have you with me for my blatherings, haha.
I knoooow! I realized that one day when I was going through LJ Inc's Sales page and figuring out how many of their featured communities were Plus or had ads on them. I don't think ONTD could pay for LJ on its own, but it would definitely make a very nice chunk of change, enough to pay for its resource sucking and probably someone's salary besides. They could even sell brand ads just to display on ONTD.
In many respects LJBook, because it was actually designed with LJ in mind, is miles above Blurb's implementation, which was designed more for regular blogs on places like WordPress and Blogger. Blurb's would be nice if it was designed for LJ, but alas, the shoehorning shows. LJBook's good for people who want to make a printed copy with Lulu. It's also good for people who are confused by other backup options and want a single file containing the contents of their journal. Another nice bonus is the PDF would be searchable, since native LJs aren't. I know that one of

Another interesting note, Plus was probably inadvertantly omitted from this sentence: "If you have a Basic, Paid, or Permanent account and want to share your story with Nature Made, click here to answer the question." I can't imagine Plus accounts are actually not included, however.
Plus was omitted because if I recall correctly, it was displayed by default in the Writer's Block. Everyone else needed to follow the actual link.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense! Crossed out and ETA'd. Also made clearer that filling out ad info is not necessary, just very...leading a horse to water--some people got the impression it was.

Didn't know ONTD was a perm account, that place could probably pay for the site on its own if there were ads on there.
I used LJ book once, seems OK but also seemed pointless (to me, anyway).
