If I wanted to read advertisements, I'd make Facebook my fulltime home.  I participate here (and pay my annual fee) to see the creative efforts of other people, not to become a target audience for advertising.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Your Journal - Your Money, a joint program with Google AdSense that allows LiveJournal paid and permanent account holders around the world the chance to earn extra cash just by displaying ads on their journals.

If I see ads showing up on anyone's posts, I'll defriend them immediately.  I'm not participating in this nonsense.

true; although depends if I have a choice being a 'free' user I could see them tacking ads onto my blog without my consent.

I was paid for years, just got bored with paying for not really very much...and money is/was tight.
