Livejournal permanent accounts
Jun. 19th, 2007 08:28 pmLJ is offering permanent accounts in a one-week sale, starting on the 21st.
I'm ... torn. My first thought was "Oh, hell yeah!", because I love my paid account features and will probably continue having a paid account for the near future. Plus, more userpics!
But then I got to thinking about it. The permanent accounts cost $150. A paid account is $20 yearly, so that means it'd take nearly 8 years to recoup. In 8 years (2015) will I even still be on Livejournal? Let alone interested in having a paid account? I mean, thinking about all the changes in my Internet browsing habits over the LAST eight years ... I haven't got a clue what I'll be doing when I'm 39. I may be completely out of fandom and have abandoned this LJ. Or fandom itself may have completely abandoned LJ and migrated on to the next shiny toy. It's worth it to me *now*, but eight years from now, I dunno.
*thinks*
