Should I stay on Dreamwidth?

barondaveHi. A post for Dreamwidth and not LJ.
I have a paid subscription, which will run out in a week or so. The question is... should I continue on Dreamwidth? If I just let the sub lapse, I'll still have an account, but none of the perks of a paid membership, whatever they are.
This is the first time I've logged into DW in months. It is, at best, redundant with LJ, and I've seen no posts that weren't also there. I have far fewer DW Friends than LJ (which looks even worse compared to FB), so some of this is simply my lack of interest in expanding my participation here.
So... all you die-hard DWers: Has it been worth it? Do you think it might be worth it for me? What have you uniquely gotten from DW?
And if you only read DW posts on LJ and don't see this, that counts as a disrecommendation.

You do know that it's OK to drop the payment and go back to being a free account here and you still won't get ads? As a non-LJ person, the ad before one gets to recent entries is annoying, and I close that puppy fast enough to avoid seeing it.
Facebook has too many issues for me to want to have anything whatsoever to do with it.
Nice to see you!
