It's hard to see, because they don't really separate things in the stats, yeah? I know according to external stats, English visits are either stagnant or declining (by some measures, English Tumblr is already more visited than English LJ).
Well, they often drift somewhere, I suppose.
Eh, I have to say that personally (this may be an unpopular opinion) I can see why pro-DW opinions may not be though appropriate in news posts. I am not sure whether the official posts of a company are really good places to advertise competing products, really. Even if the person is not an official rep of DW, these will be seen as advertising, etc. I seem to see more people taking the piss out of completely nutso conspiracists (such as the person who thought Foxfirefey was a secret agent of LJ) or 'look, ok, you think LJ sucks, so why don't you just stop spamming LJ sucks! comments and go to the site you like so much better?' sort of comments rather than straight out "LJ ROXXORS" comments.
Eh? How does Like encourage people you don't know to read your stuff? From what I see (so far) there are no means of making public Likes lists or aggregating a leaderboard of something like 'top 50 liked posts in the past three days,' or incorporating likes into search rankings.
Is there really a difference between old posts and current posts in terms of ad monetization? I'm not really getting the old/current distinction, and I'm not sure the people complaining would really care about the old/current distinction either. (Anyway, so what about people who dislike the current LJ because of ads, yet move to IJ, which has ads as well?)
