I don't know if anyone has noticed, but LJ's bringing basic accounts back by the end of the summer for the Northern Hemisphere.

Thoughts? Comments?

I was all 'eh' about this until I read this thread.

This new ad policy will apply to ALL basic accounts, no matter how old, not just the new ones.

So, essentially, all basic accounts will become Plus accounts. Great.

Didn't a bunch of people pretty much predict this back when basic accounts got eliminated?

They did. I always assumed it would happen, I just didn't think it would happen quite this soon. :rolls eyes at own stupidity:

I don't know if I did publicly, though I remember mentioning to a friend that this is exactly what was going to happen eventually.

Needless to say, this is one of those times I wish I wasn't right.

yep, it's kinda like gas prices. jack it up really high within the course of a week, then bring it down a few pennies over a few weeks so that people will go "ooo that's so cheap!" when it really isn't. same thing with basic accounts. take them away so people will get mad, then when you bring them back shittier they will go "ooo i'm so happy!" unfortunately for them, we're not all that stupid.
