...In regards to the LJ-stupidity, I have a paid account, largely so I can have more icons and no advertising. If I wanted a CommYou account, and it had the same choices as LJ currently does, I'd pay for no advertising. If the service was as useful as LJ (which I'm not yet sure of, though it sounds very cool), I'd pay at least twice what LJ asks for a yearly account before I balked. If I was a broke college student, I'd ignore the ads.
Oh, and in response to the previous comment, last I checked my gmails have ads. Silly, context generated ones (which largely cause me the giggles) from the text of the mail. And gmail is my favorite platform so far for email.
One of the strange things about ads on the internet...they are everywhere, and we strive to ignore them. Just like on TV. There's a huge social disconnect there somewhere, does internet advertising work? I'd say I click on an internet ad about twice a year.
