LiveJournal's leadership has made it clear that their future American business strategy lies in generating new traffic rather than catering to the service's current small-but-loyal membership. The challenge for Petrochenko and other executives at LiveJournal will be redefining the brand's identity in a crowded media marketplace.
I've had a paid account for years. I have been loyal to this site even through the incredibly bone-headed moves they've made in the past. To hear that folks like me, who have stuck with this site through thick and thin, are to be cast aside in favor of "new traffic" is disheartening.
I don't know what I expected. It's pretty clear that everyone in this world is out to make a buck, that loyalty to anything means nothing anymore, and I have to set up a Dreamwidth account if I haven't already.
Do I need an invite?
