Y'know how everybody's been complaining about the 3 second ads

I think I have an explanation

A while ago I wondered how to go ad free on tumblr. This is how:

Find an ad.

Click the three dots in the upper right hand corner.

Click go ad free.

Pay monies.

Win.

I’m sure it’s there somewhere else, but that worked for me.

If you can afford it, ad-free Tumblr is $40 per year and it's GREAT. It is possibly the best $40 I spend on myself all year, in terms of cost per hour of time I enjoy it.

Do you spend 40 hours a year on Tumblr i.e. about 3.5 hours per month? That's $1/hour. And I'm on here more than an hour a week for sure.

They need to make enough money to support the site and pay the staff to keep it working. If enough of us subscribe to ad-free, then we will all be able to avoid their other efforts to monetize this hellsite.

Hey there! If you want to block ads on a phone, there's a reasonably easy way to do it (It won't block all hands but it will block 95% or more of them)

What you can do is you can go to this website, and follow the instructions for your device, whether it is an iOS or an Android phone. If you are having any problems, you can just send me an ask or something, and I'd be happy to help!

Bonus Round (you don't have to read this): I'll explain what this will actually do. When you set this up, you are changing your default DNS server. Usually, it just uses one that is set by your service provider, such as a proprietary one, or the 8.8.8.8 address provided by Google.

A DNS basically gives your device a map of the internet, and translates web addresses (such as tumblr.com) into IPs (such as 192.0.77.40). What this ad blocking DNS does is that it spoofs the address of ad-serving websites, and returns either an error, or it redirects it to its own website. Either way, the ads on your phone don't work because your apps can't connect to them at all!

Unfortunately, this method is not perfect, so you'll get some stuff like tumblr's "in-house" ads, like the colour of the sky socks et al, so if you can't live with that, you could always try to download some app off the internet instead, but that's always a bit more risky.

oooh thank you!!!

I had my Tumblr problem solved by a very very kind anon, but might still do this in the future!

also posting this in case anyone else mostly uses mobile and wants to try this !

Guess what, if you pay for ad free they’ll just come up with alternate forms of ads that aren’t covered under ad free. I even wrote a support ticket because if I’m paying for ad free I shouldn’t be getting this stupid one piece shit because IT’S AN AD. this was the response:

Cool thanks for nothing

i think it's time to migrate

rip ad free Tumblr my beloved </3

[kennyomegasweave]

I guess you can no longer snooze tumblr live?

What is the point of paying for ad free tumblr if I still see ads and I can't even do the, supposedly free, click to turn off tumblr live?

places to donate for tigray

for those who are unaware of what is going on in tigray, omnitigray has an in-depth piece on the genocide happening right now and the history leading up to it. tigray has had an internet blackout since 2020 so there is very little accessible day-to-day information. however the atrocities that are known are clear and alarming, and the tigrayan people need attention and support.
