What. No.

I've been casually reading the comments threads at the latest LJ news release and found a bunch of people complaining that their accounts had been set to Autopay without their consent. So, just to be safe, I checked mine. Lo and behold.

I have never agreed to use autopayments before on LJ. And yet, there it was, bright and bushy-tailed and ready to charge my credit card, which should not have been stored on the site in the first place because I DON'T USE AUTOPAY.

Check your accounts, dudes.

LJ really, really messed up this time.
I hate the new commenting layout and this stuff with the payment is simply outrageous.

Yes, goodness knows what they're thinking. Yikes.

They are thinking MONEY when they should be thinking about satisfied customers and users.

I just don't understand what the hell the lj management was trying to do with this? Way to alienate most of your paying base tools!

Srsly. Once my paid account expires I don't think I'll renew again, ugh.
