Hey could ads on tumblr not play music or sounds when I don’t event click on them? It would be great if ads didn’t constantly run while I’m using the app either. I’d also like it if ads didn’t just shove their way onto my screen on top of posts. I understand the need for ads, that they “need” to make money. But this website, this app, it’s bothersome enough to use with the constant horrible changes to the UI and policy that it doesn’t need literal pop up ads.

#tumblr #my stuff #sorry I just can’t stand it anymore #I can’t use that app without turning down my volume otherwise an ad will start playing music super loudly #I won’t even talk about what the did to the dashboard #we all know that was a terrible decision #they’re just trying to do a cheap cash in #but as much as I hate Twitter it’s not going anywhere and most people aren’t gonna leave #I’m sure tumblr saw a lot of traffic from Reddit and Twitter users moving but not as much as people in here like to think #and while tumblr also has a few other problems with it #some which I’m afraid to say because I don’t wanna get banned #these ads and other frankly idiotic UI choices are something we’re all aware of #no one uses tumblr live #put the post button back where it belongs #make it easier to make posts this new shit is waaaay more complicated than it needs to be #they just… make choices that don’t benefit anyone #and the profit off of people buying shoelaces and stickers and check marks and blazes #where is the money going?#cause it’s not going into making the site and the app user friendly #also if tumblr is gonna be here acting like a small business that needs its users support to stay running #maybe don’t commission arts every few months for a new app logo #I like the idea of it and I think artists should get paid for their work #but while I know tumblr doesn’t need the money the staff ACT like they need it #I don’t want to sound harsh but you guys shouldn’t waste ur money on check marks on fucking tumblr #you’re kinda throwing away money #because they’re not gonna use your money to improve the website/app #the reason we even have the plague that is tumblr live is that they want to make money off of you #tumblr isn’t a social media site #it’s a testing ground for advertisers #we’ve known this for years
