I just noticed today, I don't know if anyone else feels the same way about their page, but I just noticed. On my main page, there is a little box that says:


"Deviant for 5 years:
Needs Premium Membership."



...



Look, not to offend or insult anyone who really DOES need, or DOES want premium membership, but how on Earth did dA decide for ME that I NEED premium membership? Of course, if you click on it, then it says something like "Donate dA Premium Membership?" and all it's missing is a puppy with sad eyes begging for a morsel of food. (I can't remember exactly, and it's not on this page for me to look at.)

So basically, dA is advertising it's services on my page, which is nothing new, and of course pays the bills. But to say that I NEED premium membership...that's too far, that's putting words in my mouth because to me, that implies I'm asking every page viewer if they'll buy me Premium Membership.

I'm still looking for an opt-out option, if anyone knows of one, let me know, because this is just too shameless for me to keep on my front page. And I'm pretty darn sure that I didn't opt-in somehow, unless it was hidden in some fine print or something. What'd be really great is if I could totally change the message.

Still basic member, dA Premium can shove it."
