(personal) Strike

[vg_ford]

If you are planning on striking tomorrow, more power to you. I most likely will not, simply because (and this may sound really egotistical, so I apologize in advance) I really don't care. I have a paid account, and if they get to a point where I feel they are impinging on what I want to post on my account, I will move to a Wordpress blog.

Please don't hate mail my comments. I'm all about exercising your freedom - I just ask that you respect me exercising mine.

They must do something wrong. They already charge for things that are free on Blogger and Wordpress (like photo upload and customizing templates), and now they need to force ads on free accounts. If you run google ads on Blogger, they money goes into your purse.

Well, I've moved away long ago and only use my account to comment on other LJs. Mostly because of the crappy software and the shaky copyright policy.

I dunno. I pay for my account and I see no ads. So I really don't care (gosh, that really does sound egotistical).

But honestly, you get what you pay for.

I will agree with you.

Are things for free good? sure. but people expect an awful lot nowadays. having been in the whole shebang for years.. I have wathced ALL the major services get bought out and change. from three in carnation prior to yahoo.. to the lj.... to other servers. Very little can afford to be "free", and people do not like to stop and think there is really no true "free".

all these other "free" services will eventually, even if slowly, go the way of all the others. mark my words.
