What is going on with LiveJournal? Now every fifth time I log in, they shoot me to a page directing me to choose my ad preferences. I still don't want ads, thanks and stop. Just now when I clicked onto lj.com, an ad for sex parties was displayed! WTF?! I've been using them for almost five years now, looks like they're about to lose me.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The status is NOT quo.
Why does Monday have to happen?
An excellent question, and one I want answered. t /demandypants
Hello all. I've been commenting on essays again all morning, and I think my brain has turned to jelly. Is jellified a word? if it isn't, it should be. My brain has jellified. And not even a good jelly--it has cheap imitation raspberry jellified.

No clue.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe make sure you didn't actually get changed over to a Sponsored account rather than a Free or Paid one?
The sex ads thing is bizarre, though. I would have thought they'd have better sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that sounds weird.

The ads are popping up when I am on the front page without logging in, so I am guessing they now have a default ads? (Not going to have my work computer "remember me.") The ad was for a sex toy party, I should say, not an orgy. I think there were two guys and a plane. Because the second thing I need after my NetJets subscription...
No idea why they keep asking me to set my ad preferences. When I'm logged in my account is listed as Basic.
ETA: it's a New York Classified ad. So it's whatever people are listing on NY Classifieds, i.e., here: [link] Sex parties are apparent as you scroll down (that link is SFW).
ETA2: I sent them feedback on the ads-- twice.

I fear this is some sort of LJ cancer, bon.

I think I have the kind of cancer that sends LJ contradictory messages about my ad preferences. It's a growing public health concern.
