Advertisements and Such

Personally, I take issue with this post in the lj_ads comm. Not only is the staff testing an option to plunk the ads on Plus Accounts between entries, if you're smart enough to use the S1 style option, you don't even get to try it. In fact, you can't even change the vertical orientation of your ad-shackles unless you use S1.

It's my choice to be a Plus user, I get that. I like being a Plus, especially since it gives me everything "extra" that I actually use, without the other bells and whistles of Paid that I'm not interested in. I don't mind the ads themselves...except for the ones that are imbedded in my login screen, about Cram Daddy and Amp'd Mobile. Annoying litle buggers.

But what's with basically punishing Plus users who can work with the overrides and HTML? Is it just that the LJ people are lazy, and don't want to work out a way to change ad orientation for S2? Is it that, since they figure they're just yanking our chains anyway, not to bother?

Damn. Whatever.
