We do drama

We finally got a mass privacy editing tool!

Plus a lot of other stuff, including ads on site pages to logged-out users, sigh.

It was live when I looked at it earlier. They must have turned it off.

I thought sponsored comms had just flopped, but apparently they're just staying true to their word and not advertising to paid users.

There was a while back where there weren't many sponsored comms running (they only last for a month; I don't think they really understand LJ comms), so there probably were none on the front page to begin with.

Seriously, I'm going to buy myself a rename token to celebrate when it goes live.

I must do that as well, if I ever decide on a name. How much are they, these days?

rename tokens are 15 USD.

When I'm signed out I see listings for sponsored comms. They just disappear when I log in.

Honestly, I don't get sponsored comms either. Why not just start a regular comm? They seem like a much better idea from the viral marketing standpoint...

I think the whole idea behind 'guerrilla marketing' has just gotten warped and out of hand. Encouraging a small but dedicated fanbase to spread the love is one thing, but you can't create a fanbase out of nothing.

Yes, that's what I meant about them not getting the point of LJ comms. Most of them have a lot longer lifespan than a month :-P
