So everyone is on a tirade about the basic accounts. So here are some quick stats from my own journal for everyon to mull over since the claim is that free accounts generate all the content.
of the Basic users on my friends list,
32% have posted in the last week
18% have posted in the last month
26% have posted in the last year
24% have not posted in over a year
Of the plus accounts (what essentially replaced basic accounts):
33% have posted in the last week
25% have posted in the last month
17% have posted in the last year
25% have not posted in over a year
Of all the other types of accounts (paid, perm, early adopter):
54% have posted in the last week
8% have posted in the last month
23% have posted in the last year
15% have not posted in over a year
The only other thing I’ll make about people who don’t want ads…stop using google, watching TV, going to the movies, walking through the malls or anything else that advertising subsidizes. Prove your point and put your money where your mouth is. I’ll see you all at the stone on the north end of town…It’s the safe place with none of this and is free…except the bus ride…which has ads…so don’t ride that either.
