On Thursday, we’re going to introduce ads on Tumblrs, so that later this year people can start making money from their blogs.
Tumblr is a place where brilliant, creative, funny, impossible people shape culture. Some of you have even turned your passions into jobs: book deals, music careers, paid gigs with the Creatrs program. Now, (soon!) that opportunity will be available to any eligible Tumblr—poet, musician, fan artist, and misfit weirdo memelord alike.
Some things you’re probably wondering:
Do you have to? Good question. No, you can turn off on-blog advertising in settings if you’re not comfortable with it.
When? Who? How? How much? Also good questions! We’re still working out the details of the partner program but as soon as we have details to share, we’ll make announcements right here on trusty Staff. Just so you know: You won’t be able to make money until you register for the program—which is coming soon.
Soup.io – well-known alternative to Tumblr. Reblogging, post types, themes, collab blogs, dashboard, artsy, great community already there. Soup can auto-import everything you’ve posted on Tumblr.
TypePad – Includes reblogging. Dashboard and post types similar to Tumblr.
If you’re wanting to show your displeasure, don’t just tag staff or support. Take a page out of other consumer revolts and make sure your displeasure is known.
Don’t be an idiot. Do not threaten, harass or otherwise make this personal. Contact these companies, make your displeasure known, alert them that you are a customer and you will be leaving their brand across all boards unless they reverse their decision.
Be clear, be concise, be polite, but make your displeasure known.
staff saying “female presenting nipples” & then clearing out the top surgery tag for trans men is so sus 🤪
like i already knew that meant women and trans men, because why not be transphobic amidst all this other stuff, but also wild because their little footnote said that these images in “medical settings” or specifically about top surgery wouldn’t be affected. and yet. they just cannot pass up opportunities to oppress LGBT expression.
