LJ will now offer accounts which display ads on your journal and friend's page

But, hey! They'll be targeted ads, based on the interests in your interest list. Congratulations, you all belong to a focus group now!

If your friends go Cheapo+ you still don't have to see their adverts on your friends page. Hurrah!

I'm torn between it being a Bad Thing (adverts? On lj? nooooo!) and a Good Thing (people can get more cool things, for free!)

But it won't actually affect me, as I'm paid. So it's only a theoretical dilemna.
