can we talk about how refreshing this is tho? and how crazy it is that this entirely reasonable response feels so out-of-the-ordinary.

I don’t mind paying for ad-free but I do wish there was a way to support and keep their business running without making minors/those without disposable income bear the brunt of advertisement - especially considering how good at being insidiously manipulative the advertising industry has become.

We heard you.

Recently, we experimented with swapping out the locations of the profile and TumblrMart icons in the iOS app. We monitored your feedback through your posts, questions to @wip, comments and reblogs on @changes and @emporium posts, and so on. You didn’t like the update, so we’ve changed it back.

We heard you loud and clear. The profile icon has returned to the lower right corner of your iOS app.

This change was originally intended to inform you about the new features we are releasing to help Tumblr move toward profitability. However, we recognize that this was too big a change to how many of you use Tumblr on iOS. You are Tumblr. You’re the most important voice in the room, and we hear you.

We know this has been frustrating for many of you. To thank you for being patient and understanding, we’re offering this coupon code for items in the Tumblr Shop: use code OURBAD for 10% off on all products here. You can also use code OURBAD on all digital TumblrMart products except Ad-Free when purchasing on web. This code can be used once and is good for a limited time.

Thanks as always for your feedback, [tumblr].
