Re: Ummmm?

[shinga.livejournal.com]

Something about censored interests that weren't really censored and they're not censored at all now and no one being able to sign up for free accounts anymore or something.

In short, I'm not participating and it's probably obvious. ;)

Re: Ummmm?

[athenaltena.livejournal.com]

I was under the impression it had something to do with free accounts not being free anymore... or something. I don't care, so haven't been paying attention. :/

Re: Ummmm?

[shinga.livejournal.com]

I think it's something like that. Like anyone who had a free account before a specific date can keep it but the ones who sign up for one after that have to have a plus account with ads and stuff.

Re: Ummmm?

[athenaltena.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's not that bad, then. I had a plus for a while before someone got me a paid one and the ads aren't even that obnoxious. The person who was railing about it that I saw made it sound like you couldn't have free accounts at all and you'd have to pay for all of them. In that case *ptfft* I care even less.

Really?

[mccarthief.livejournal.com]

So basically it's over a bunch of misunderstandings?

I don't think I'll be participating either in that case.

Re: Really?

[shinga.livejournal.com]

It's a bunch of "how dare LJ run their business like they own it!" which they... do...

Not that the new owners of LJ are being 100% mature about it either, but honestly the strike is dumb. It will accomplish NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. But eh, I guess if it makes people feel better.

Re: Really?

[athenaltena.livejournal.com]

The part that bugged me was the people saying "IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE RUSSIANS!" *rolls eyes* But yeah, immaturity on both parts, but at least the LJ owners have their business at stake (they have to pay the bills somehow) while the other people are basically just making a fuss over small change.

[socksy-back.livejournal.com]

It's more like, "how dare LJ run a business like it doesn't need to keep customers happy and informed and willing to shell out money and provide content so they can continue to make a fuckload of cash."

But go on, you were being amazingly cool and apathetic there.

[shinga.livejournal.com]

But I am apathetic. The strike won't do anything but give them less work for a day, which to me helps them. And the whole "omg they're censoring interests" thing stopped anyway, the interests are back up, so obviously they do some things to keep the entitled happy. I mean, for God's sake, it's a couple of interests. And the whole 'we're putting ads up' thing? How bad is it, really, that you might have to just use an ad-blocker? They're ads. LJ has a business to run, they need money to do it. It's still free, the most you have to do is see some ads in a few places. It isn't the end of the world, and a "protest" that does nothing is pointless.
