Why? Why why why why? Why take away the ONE THING that made you better than other community sites?
I. Don't. Get. It.
Edit: And you know the really SHITTY thing? They only made the announcement on a Russian language community, a couple of weeks ago. The latest
news post, from 12/14, makes mention of "changes to comments coming soon!" with no details. It's like they knew they were going to have to sneak it by the user base. Feh.
The change: taking away subject lines from comments. Which is vital for users like fic memes. It makes them impossible to read or track. Disaster for fandom, and you all know I don't use that word lightly.
Son of edit: Looking to leave feedback? This seems to be the best place.

Which means that it is NOT something inherent in the code, they've just yoinked away another perk from free users. Which also really, really sucks.

Were you one of the people who talked about how Google and Facebook and the like don't see their users as their customers?
Yes, I posted about that awhile back, around I think the Delicious fail. I've heard it claimed that LJ doesn't like the comment-based communities because people don't load new pages as often, hence don't see as many ads. It's as good a conspiracy theory as any.
I hate this, seriously, and frankly my fics aren't getting read on LJ anyway. I'm really ready to just post to AO3 and keep my personal stuff to DW. I already do all my posting from there anyway.
