Apparently producing content for Livejournal is no longer worth anything.

So, it's no longer possible to get an ad-free account on Livejournal.

As brad says, I produce content that paid users are here to see. That's my price of entry.

And all I really have to say to this is:
Adblock plus
and
Adblock plus element hiding helper
and
Easylist Element Blocker Subscription

am i missing something regarding the use of the easylist element blocker subscription? should this be loaded within something other than a web browser or is the url hosed?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

It's an Adblock Subscription link. You need Adblock Plus installed first, before it will work.

excellent.
i was just not figuring out how to get it to work WITH the program, found it again through the 'view all subscriptions' link within ABP

thank you for your help

Thank you for keeping us aware. <3

Wow. Thank you for spreading the news, because without your link I'd be completely unaware of this big policy change.

Bad business decision, LJ. Haven't they learned enough about the importance of transperancy from their past business faux pas?

Different corporate owners. So new people to screw things up...

[tsunami-ryuu.livejournal.com]

True. I expect there to be something of a learning curve for the owners, but you'd think they would try to familiarize themselves with LJ's history and test the waters before making such drastic changes.

Did your friend pursue it legally?

[heptadecagram.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously. These dollar amounts are low enough that it's much smarter for LJ to issue a prorated refund. I've got my line rehearsed if it ever gets to the point that I want a refund: "So, I can sue you for the amount left on my account, which will take at least 1-2 hours of your lawyers' time, at the absolute barest minimum. It's more likely to take 6-8. You're based in San Francisco, where the hourly rate for a lawyer is about $450. You can issue me a refund for $12, or spend $900-3600 to try to avoid it."
