Well, not everybody who complains about ad creep is in lock step, and I can say that the majority of them by the time you get towards the feature-promotion side of the spectrum have varying opinions, but overall if something is not obtrusive and opt in, they're okay with it being available to paid users. In this case, paid users can opt out on all levels.
People are much more likely to complain about say, beginning to use interstitial ads.
And I strongly suspect being sensitive to not showing sponsored things to paid users this time is going to get them far more flack than being cautious, because when they promote this in news there are many paid users who are not the kind to complain about ad creep who'll want their free vgifts. And they won't like being locked out because they've given LJ money.
And yeah, I have vgifts in general and notifications for them turned off ever since the option came around--for which I'm glad considering that snowflake toss up, hehe.
