[onedivinemisfit]

Nothing like reporting an ad on here for being offensive and repetitive, and then having this godsdamned website push it in my face 10+ more times as I scroll the dash. Great job @staff, great job

FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING ADS

[sreegs]

hey if you see shit ads like the one promoting genocide in gaza, email support@tumblr.com with a screenshot of the whole ad in view. They may not act promptly but they will take it down. ads like that violate not only Tumblr's ad policy but also the ad provider's ad policy

If you think Tumblr individually reviews and approves every ad that appears on their site, you are mistaken. The internet has not worked like that since like, 1999. Ads are given space to appear, and ad providers bid to fill it with their ad supply. It's all third party.

Read this post if you want to learn more.

PSA: If anyone is considering paying for Tumblr ad free to escape the ads...

The ads are excluded. From exclusion by ad free. As an opportunity graciously permitted to us, apparently.

Actual reply from Tumblr support:

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about our Netflix One Piece partnership.

You may notice a temporary dashboard tab featuring content about the show, and some sponsored posts throughout your feed for a limited time.

Tumblr Ad-Free Browsing excludes a few featured post formats on the platform. You’ll still have access to sponsored posts made by users as well as special features such as editorials and/or Tumblr takeovers.

Hey @staff got anything to add? Oh, sorry, to ad?

So yeah here's the place to complain loudly and often, I used multiple drop downs to test (and because I am filled with spite) and, unsurprisingly, the only one I got a reply on was using the category "Paid Options".

So everyone, feel free to go to Tumblr support, select Paid Options as your category, and complain in your preferred degree of politeness about how you...

CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER!

Are going to cancel your subscription if they keep advertising on ad free

Were considering ad free but became aware that it's not actually ad free, so bad Tumblr, no cookie money
