I wonder if there is some way using (ethical) bots/sampling that we really COULD see whether there has been a decline in English language LJ?
Eh, I don't mind (not that anyone really gives a damn about what I think, haha) about constructive and relevant mentions of DW, but this whole 'have an invite' thing is kind of pushing it, unless a person specifically expresses interest. Those people who can't leave LJ because their friends are on etc., should actually realize that at this point.... er, don't they have much more chance of influencing their friends to leave LJ, or at least also use other places, vs. influencing LJ itself to change? (I assume their friends are why they are staying on LJ. If not, it is truly mysterious why they continue to stay)
I think whether they are likely to click a text ad or not, IIRC, depends on exactly what the search is for?
Yeah, but I mean, for the purposes of the people complaining, it doesn't really matter, because it's not as if LJ is only putting ads on the dead journals.
