eh some of them aren't that great but others are enjoyable. you can either take or leave them. I'm currently working my way through Jennifer Saint's series after being a bit let down by her book Ariadne due to the way she portrayed Dionysus.

Not watching a video that looks like something you'd enjoy just because of the title seems really dumb to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, fair, play stupid algorithm-chasing games, win stupid prizes (lower quality viewers)

I get this. It's kind of similar to how I don't follow people who reblog superstitious posts like "reblog this [or bad thing will happen] [and good thing will happen]". Even if they seem like a nice person and post interesting things otherwise, I hate manipulative posts like that and reblogging those things is a dealbreaker for me.

I get why you choose to do this OP. There are plenty of YT creators who I lose interest in and it usually happens when it seems like they're chasing trends.

This particular thing isn't a deal breaker for this nonny though

Nah, it was the pictures. LJ was always down due to DDOS, so we all moved to DW but DW was an imperfect copy of LJ. It didn’t include features LJ users depended on but it did have pretty much the same basic themes, they were just coded differently so it was difficult or even impossible to use most of the hundreds of thousands of LJ themes out there. But the worst part was that DW didn’t have any photo hosting. This happened right about the time that Photobucket became an absolute nightmare to use and you had to have an account and they set a really small allowance. So everyone moved to tumblr where they had native image support and the blog themes were fresh and new.

[(Anonymous)]

Image hosting is a pretty big reason, especially when you start to think about how much of LJ used a site like photobucket for A LOT of fandom communities.

No, it was the Russians.

The subject is a bit of a joke, but also serious.

LJ was on a downhill slide and the plans the company had were awful and not what a lot of the fandom userbase wanted. There were so many posts of discussions on where to go and DW was still invite only I believe. Plus there was a chunk of people that had beef with some of the creators of DW. That and tumblr was a big draw with gifs and photos and generally a lot more low effort posting.

So you are partly right, LJ lost the spark due to the owners changing things up (and the strikethroughs and ddos attacks etc) and tumblr was right there waiting. But I think there was just a lot of upheaval in fandom and the internet at large during the time too.

And now fandom has changed so much I can't see it ever changing back to the more LJ style. Which is a shame because I think you had better actual discussions and circles and friends there, but it could just be that I am very biased with my own fun times during the LJ heydays.

[(Anonymous)]

Live Journal went downhill because of the Russians. Nobody wanted them owning anything we wrote or fucking other shit up, so we all fled.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow no. LJ got blacklisted due to strikethrough, ownership changes, DOS attacks, all sorts of bad juju, and nobody wanted to jump to DW because it was like the librarian's version of LJ -- fewer features including no pics. It wasn't a fandom spirit problem, it was capitalism.

[(Anonymous)]

No, it coincided with fandom spreading all over different networks, with one quickly becoming their main place. Many people had already moved to Twitter by then for example.
