New LJ Profile Page

mood: annoyed
Whether they want it or not, LJers are now stuck with a new profile layout:

User feedback is one of the most important ones

But apparently, not enough to actually listen when you get a resounding chorus of DO NOT WANT.

I find it funny that they are referring to stacked chunks of text with hard returns between them "design" and saying how long it took.

Someone's snowed.

I'm also amused by the facebookian placement of the info no one but advertisers wants on the very top/most prominent place.

that seems to be the point. LJ is setting it up for data-mining.

FUCK THE USERS!

From what I could tell a few years ago it was already being heavily mined. This will just make it easier.

Sorry but I don't like to pay for the privilege of creating content someone else will make money from, as well as give them access to my eyes and personal info for them to make even more money. All with no cut for me. Feh.

totally agree. I'm phasing myself out of LJ currently. Now if only I could all my friends and favorite communities to come here life would be perfect.
