Well, fortunately I haven't had to give money to whichever band of clowns currently owns LJ for a while, since I got a permanent account five years ago or whenever that was. Certainly long ago that I've gotten my money's worth and that it's probably been spent. Still got a few people on the LJ who are all "well I'm not getting a DW account just because you all are", but keeping the two synched is pretty easy.
