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!

I love the new ad system. Virtually any other site the size of LiveJournal would be forcing ads on all free users at this point, with the free users getting nothing extra for them being there. However, not only is LiveJournal not forcing anyone to have ads, they are giving people the option of having ads for extra benefits.
