Ads

[kpreid]

I just recently found out that LJ is displaying ads on my journal-or-blog-whichever — I hadn't previously noticed as it doesn't when I'm logged in (which seems a bit deceptive). I had previously understood that with a basic account there would be no ads.

Your opinion on the matter? Have the ads bothered you? Is there actually a way to turn them off that I haven't noticed? Should I find other hosting for my blog?

(I expect most of my readers are actually via feeds and don't see them...)

I'm here only to have a look at the page. I see no ads as I use Firefox with the AdBlock+ extension. I'm usually a feed reader, so no ads in that case either.

I left (http://splogs.livejournal.com/45238.html) partly because of the ads.

It's a violation of LJ's social contract, a bait-and-switch years after we got all our friends to sign up so we can't really leave.
