All these things that I have done

Probably. I never really noticed it on LJ because I was much more into the basic concept and community aspects of the site so I was already prepared to pay for that. I think most of those things here though are more that you just don't have access, rather than you get a bit and then have to pay to get more. I suppose I see something like galleries as being pretty fundamental to any photo hosting service so I find it more irritating - it's not just an add on in my mind but that may make me unusual.
