Everything good in a capitalist society is eventually corrupted by money. EVERYTHING! Money has become the sole reason for existing in America. It doesn't matter how an something starts out (artistic, altruistic ect.) money always makes its way in and slowly begins to rule. ALWAYS. To me some of the worst advertising comes from users who write a three word commentary on your poem, and then ask you to read their poem. I never read their poems. When someone writes a good, thoughtful response and does not ask me to read their poem, that's when I check out their profile and read their poems.
Also why does ph always ask me if a I want to stay signed in and then never keep me signed in? With the increased revenue they are making they could actually be working on things like that. Or allow you to organize your favorite poems into categories.
