The amount of mis-information regarding this lemming strike astounds me.
1. The strike wont have any effect on the LJ corp. They will just wish it away.
2. The strike has little to zero economic effect. A filibuster would have been better with every free member writing as much real content as possible.
3. They are striking over the fact that users used to get their LJ without ads. Now that it's commercial it's likely to get ads **for new users**. The old users wont get a change.
4. Somehow LJ became evil when they made the mistake of censorship. It is a Russian company. I would expect a few mistakes in this regard. However striking doesn't DO anything.
If anything I'll be interested to see just how LITTLE backlash this causes.
