lizziebelleWhat do folks think about LJ's new sponsored accounts? Is it worth having to look at ads to get paid-member features? On the one hand, online ads can be annoying. On the other, I understand the impetus to sell ad space, since that is what I do for a living. Yahoo does it, MySpace does it, even The Reminder does it. It's what keeps the internet going. Like commercials on television.
I'm thinking I might try it out. I mean, 15 icons! Phone posts! It could be fun. And I certainly can't afford a paid account right now.
I'll mull it over before taking the plunge.

was more of me sticking myself in your shoes. granted, they really don't fit, but damn, they're purty!
was reading another post this morning, and yeah, this isn't an arguement for you to NOT do the ads, but he pointed out that w/ all these people accessing formerly 'paid' functions, the servers that are already stressed will be stressed even more. yay, more LJ breakage.
