content strike on friday, march 21

[piranha]

i'll be participating, so there won't be a daily picture on friday.

why a content strike? beckyzoole explains.

i have a paid account, and have had one for a long time to support the site. but without the option to start by creating a basic account i would have never started a livejournal to begin with (because i hate ads plastered all over my personal space). i believe basic account holders provide much of the content that drives LJ and makes it interesting. advertising, on the other hands, doesn't add anything positive to my experience here, quite the opposite.

if you think the content strike is a good idea, please join in, and also spread the news in your own LJ.

Eh, it'll be difficult for UK residents. 21 March is Good Friday (a bank holiday = a public/national day). It's a day when almost everyone has a day off work, college or school. Same for 24 March, which is Easter Monday.

yeah, the timing isn't good, but it was already set when i found out. i generally think this won't get enough participation to make a real impact; it's all done in too much of a hurry.

but eh, i am peeved at the disrespect for free users, and want to show it in some measurable way.

but hey, at least you didn't have to go on the dreaded trip!
