WordPress New No Ads Upgrade is A FARCE at Best

I have been trying to talk sense into WordPress “Support” about their No Ads Upgrade. My issues with it are simple.

1- My blog is a blog that I have paid for my own domain for the past 3 years. My blog is not a free blog. I have paid for my domain, paid for video usage etc.

2- Since I have paid for my own domain and other services and my blog is not one of the free ones, the thought of me having to pay for an “upgrade” so I do not have ads appear on my blog is completely unacceptable to me.

3- I have contacted “support” and all they do is send their BS talking points.

4- WordPress No Ads Upgrade is simply put- A SLEAZY BUSINESS TACTIC to try to get more money out people who have already paid for their blogs.

5- The ads appear on everyone of my posts. WordPress claims they only do it sometimes. They are doing it EVERY TIME/

6- I paid for my blog, therefore, I should be the one to control whether any ads appear and what the content of the ads are- NOT WORDPRESS!!

7- WordPress’ choice is simply this as far as I am concerned. They can receive my next annual domain fee and other fess i pay and no longer places ads on my blog OR WordPress get NOTHING from me.

Can’t get into my blog- Day 3

This is the 3rd day  that it is a big hassle just to get into my blog. I wonder if this will ever get fixed!! I sent emails to customer support and got no response. Perhaps wordpress is going downhill for quality. A few years ago I had a problem and they responded to my email the same day and it got fixed.

I can’t get into my blog and can’t get any response from wordpress

I can’t get into my blog and I can’t get any response from wordpress. I sent support 3 emails yesterday and still no response and the problem is not resolved. When I try to log in, it comes back to the home screen as if I didn’t log in. Then I have to click on support or some other feature, so  my name appears at the top. Then I have to place my cursor over my name for a drop box to lower and the place my cursor over the name of my blog for another drop box.

I paid for my blog space and expected a lot better than this!!!!

Why no response from support???

Why is this all messed up???
