The argument about the advertising seems rather much for me, honestly. As for the prices, well, as much as I dislike capitalism, it has a nice thing: the market, the people's wallet, speaks the loudest. If people disagree with the new prices, they won't pay, that's just it. And if on top of that they try to restrict usage of the core functions of the site to premium members, it will just die out and be replaced with another site.
Yes, I may be overreacting a little bit about this, but to be honest, that's still better than not reacting at all. Which, unfortunately, is what still a lot of people seem to be doing.
