"You may have already noticed some changes to the site over the last couple months, but this is not the complete redesign - it is merely the beginning"

"Feed Promo"... TURN IT OFF NOWwantedonvoyageMarch 14 2017, 15:31:47 UTC
I have no idea if the ownership of this site still monitors this account or not, but I was really annoyed to find several posts, in Russian, on my friends feed today, which appears to be a new option extended to Cyrillic users to pay to make others read their posts.
No, just no.
I pay for an account so that I don't have to see ads. That means the only content I want to see is from the people I choose to follow. If I wanted to follow these users, I would (if I had any idea what they were saying, but who is to say this won't be followed by the same thing in the English version). In my opinion force-feeding us any other content other than what we subscribed to nullifies the value of a paid membership and I will look to have my subscription refunded.
Have others experienced this? Do you feel the same way I do about it? Please speak up! I opened a support ticket but I know that volunteers (if there even are any) are not the ones who can effect change on this.
