I paid for Premium. I did so because Xanga needs the bux to survive. I did it with the understanding that my ‘blog wouldn’t be used to advertise companies I have no control over. I thought that understanding included Xanga.
I paid for Premium! Why does Xanga ask me to pay for Premium? Why am I a member of the Xangola blogring, a ring I never consented to join? Why have I been enrolled in a game I have no intention of playing (fairly), and which implies that I have some kind of desire to be an Amway salesperson for Xanga?
Am I doing business with a service provider, or am I giving some money to some folks who are doing something cool? Are those two exclusive notions?
Have our Xanga benefactors never heard the term ‘opt-in?’

Don’t know if you’ve seen: xanga/marc refuted the idea of opting out of this crap.
I created a ‘blogring to address this:
