it's not like I WANNA leave...
Oct. 27th, 2010 01:09 pm...but the LJ experience is starting to unravel for me.
It started with pop-up ads that covered over the login fields so I couldn't login, and which resisted my efforts to remove them. Then it became pop-up ads that cover the entire frickin screen and if you wait long enough maybe it will display an X you can click to make it go away. Today I notice that Writer's Block, a little feature on the home page that I always look forward to seeing even though I don't always join in.... well, today's Writer's Block is sponsored! And -- will wonders never cease -- today's topic just happens to be related to that sponsor's products! (Shock, surprise!)
I have written to LJ and complained every step of the way along this ad-deluge, but apparently my efforts are in vain, as things are getting worse rather than better. They seem determined to make it like wading thru a sewer in order to get to your front door.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Am I maybe overreacting?
