[ID: Three tags from the original post: Relatable ad, totally not cringe, actual photo of tumblr staff]
Relatable ad, totally not cringe. What does that mean, oh I don't know, maybe it is irony, but nooo.
Actual photo of tumblr staff. Oh my, is this making fun of yourself? It can't be.
(My dear friends, do you think they don't know we are called tumblrinas? That, using the wrong word makes the meme more funny?)(btw, I know and hope most of you were joking in the replies,i my word is to the other ones)
I know I am unproportionally protective of a person just doing their job; but they are doing a good job at their job and their job is one of the reasons we can have this website as it is(as we like it).
Like yes, it shows up 20 times(at first when ads were new, probably because of my location, I had no ads but tumblr ads. I didn't even get the landscaped ones. I know how it feels to see the same ad again and again), but ads on tumblr are better then most(*cough*all*cough) other websites, they don't cover content and you can just scrool thru. And tumblr tumblr ads are plain old lovely, they don't flash, they try to be either funny or cute(they usually succeed), and they carry the inherited funny factor of promoting the product on the product.
Also, Brick and the emporium/tumblr shop/marketing/merchendise team is doing a steller job right now. Like I have zero moneys and I especially have zero moneys I can justifiably spend on shipping but I get so close to buying stuff from tumblr shop whenever I look at it(that's another thing, I like looking thru the shop! what?). Like, there are funny meme stuff, there are tumblr memoribilia(how the frick do you write that word?), then there is actually cool looking can use it in real life stuff.
Like all teams, sometimes they hit the mark, sometimes they miss it. Some memes of theirs will not be for you, some will make you keel over with laughter. You will look at some of their products and go "ugh, who wants that", and your fingers will itch to buy some. (Or maybe, you will hate all of their products, all of their memes, that's okay too) but you should realise, it is pretty much impossible to create something that will be loved by all. There will be things created in this world that you will hate and let me tell you, there will be things you will love that will be hated by a lot of people.
And I understand disliking ads, like I get bloodthirsty on youtube, unskipible ads, not even one but two, oh I am evil. But like, the way to handle said ads is not to write hate messages to the people whose job is to create said ads?
I understand getting frusturated that tumblr which was once clean off of ads is now filled with them. But if muskrat tought us anything, it's that social media sites are hard to make money off of. And they require a lot of money to maintain, money they don't generate.
I don't know how it is right now but I remember hearing that tumblr doesn't make a profit, like it requires the parent company to lose money to keep up. And untill a solution to that is found, Tumblr can be seen as being on borrowed time. And I don't know about you guys but I love tumblr, it's the one social media site I like and use, I love the culture we have here, I love the anonimity, I love the lack of algorithm, I love that I can reach to the end of my recomended, I love the fandoms, I love the weirdness, I love the fricking blue. I don't want it gone.
And so I respect Brick, a person who is getting paid to create stupis memes and memeble products for this website I adore. Amd who is doing a really good job at that.
