if they brought back the PORN this would be a GOOD IDEA
Terana
as long as there was some way to avoid the whole "monetizing fanworks" boondoggle, too, yeah
Terana
I saw someone say the best route to make money off of tumblr-as-it-is would be a reddit model
Terana
awards and bullshit
𝑆𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 ⚖️
that would be a much better idea, ppl could pay to give u a badge that says "this post gave me nightmares and cancer"
Terana
"go to horny jail" - $5
𝑆𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 ⚖️
I'd make so much off of that if the money went to the ppl u awarded it to
Terana
hey, Tumblr, let your actual users run the site for you
TifanyValentine
yeah I can't believe it's come to this but like...Reddit is probably the most user-friendly in terms of monetizing/ad content being prevalent
TifanyValentine
and Tumblr just kicking itself in the teeth
𝑆𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 ⚖️
they rly need to hire some actual tumblr users to run tumblr
𝑆𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 ⚖️
bc it seems like the execs have never touched the site in their lives
𝑆𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑚 ⚖️
if they had they'd have known this would get them torn tf apart
Terana
man, though
Terana
imagine the hell of being staff that KNOWS these are awful ideas, but having to carry them out
Terana
five bucks that's what the survey about it is intended to do
Terana
just go "okay you won't believe me that it's a bad idea? we'll see what the users think"

I know someone who used to work for Tumblr in support? And yes, that is their Hell.
