catchmelikeMy comment to lj on their most recent snafu is here.
It is in response to a quote in an article: "LiveJournal's leadership has made it clear that their future American business strategy lies in generating new traffic rather than catering to the service's current small-but-loyal membership."
This quote not only exists, but Lj linked to the article on their homepage. They are essentially bragging that they don't give a shit about the people who have been pouring money into the site and their pockets for years. This bothers me as a consumer. I don't love dreamwidth, but this is the first thing that has ever had me seriously doubting whether or not I want to stay on this site. Before I had some faith that they knew what they were doing and would try to keep both incoming and old users happy. Now it's abundantly clear that they don't really care about us.
