Steps to Become a Successful Affiliate Marketing Company

In the affiliate marketing concept, there lies a symbiotic relationship between the product endorser and the producer.

Creators I love you but it's time to wake up

Among rumors about our tumblr user data being sold off to Midjourney/Generative AI, recent Extremely transphobic events (that have been ongoing) coming to a head, another extremely concerning internet censorship bill being pushed in upper levels of government, and a general air of frustration over how the site belongs to and is operated by perhaps the second stupidest CEO (second only to twitters own) of our age, I'm very done with the last few vestiges of what the old internet held for artists.

And if you're reading this, you probably are too.

I know we're tired. We are all tired. It is not always viable to pack up shop and move, again and again and again.

From tumblr to twitter to anywhere else we've ever grown up posting, things no longer work. Our audiences are kneecapped by aggressive and hostile algorithms, our reach is abysmal - if we aren't shadow-banned or silenced for one (transphobic) reason or another, we're thrust into an ever growing pit of hostility where the only thing that drives clicks is fighting and contention.

We're tired. We're so fucking tired. We aren't businesses, we aren't content mills, we cannot keep this pace that modern social media has set for us, to wring every ounce of creativity out of us to profit from and leave us rotting.

The key to staying afloat here, and I cannot stress this enough, is to stay connected to your peers.

Pack up and move as units if you must. Exodus from the sites that are killing us. Push your entire friend group of artists to move from one site to the next that promises you a kinder experience.

Art drives movements, it drives change, it is all that encompasses being human. If you take that away from the shitty places, they will be left with nothing but a cesspit of inhumanity and the people who follow you will be more incentivized than ever to move with you.

Yes, this is terrifying. There are no guarantees. There never was, and never are, and never will be.

But stay connected. Stay human.

Support each other and be willing to hold hands and jump when we all - as a group - need to jump from the flames we're all trying to convince ourselves wont kill us before rescue comes.

Rescue isn't coming, rescue will be found hand in hand with each other. I'm offering you my hand, please take it. There's always a new start, there are always helping hands reaching for you. You have to look up from the doom-scroll long enough to see and take them.

You've probably gotten this a lot already, but Bluesky is basically Twitter, but if you don't like how political the ads have been and want to see more "tweets" from people that follow the social politics of Tumblr + where all the "adult content" artists went + where the academics and institutional scientists are moving to; it's a good place to go for that. As you can tell tho, I have some mixed feelings about what's been happening to it, as it was initially built to have multiple instances spread across the net, but it's become fairly centralized now that Twitter is hemorrhaging users of generally a left leaning persuasion who have only ever used twitter and have no desire to integrate with the original vision of the site and instead use it as Twitter 2.0. I will say, an upside is an easier creation and cultivation of "feeds" which let you have multiple themed feeds for you to follow and potentially contribute to. Like feed of just cat pictures. Or a feed of just current scientific findings from scientists. That kinda thing. Of course there's also just who you're following feed, which doesn't use AI algorithms to supplement it, it's just who you're following like on Tumblr.

Anyways, hope this helps shed some light on things, and I hope this wasn't too forward of me lol. Have a great day!

wait this is a really good explanation and way more in-depth than i was expecting, thank you!!

i just checked it out and yeah. it looks Exactly like twitter, at least on desktop. just without the hundreds of bot replies and blue checkmark users with the most hate-filled takes i've ever read.

Lulz, this is A-grade censorship, instead of just allowing my mastodon profile to be public as I had chosen the admins decided differently for the public... Was it a mass reporting by the rightwing trolls of mastodon?! Or was it something equally as petty that's made this change all of a sudden?!

I'll tell people that I'm not on Facebook/most social media anymore. They always say, "Oh, good for you! I'm always scrolling and wasting time. I think it's bad for my mental health."

And I always try to reinforce that, yeah. It probably IS bad for your mental health. Maybe not for everyone, but for the vast majority of ppl I talk to who still use a lot of social media constantly, it seems like it really depresses them, demotivates them, and sends them into spirals of self hatred.

If you find yourself constantly doom scrolling & know that it's impacting your mental health, I highly recommend throwing the whole website out. Tell ppl how to contact you, and leave. And if you can't stay away from it, you may be looking at an addiction that needs to be dealt with, lest it turn into a toxic spiral of misery.

Ah, the days when people paid for internet access? (Well, “paid” in many cases with howevermany DVDs of complimentary AOL hours.) The days when people mostly used sites that were written by people who either knew what they were doing or outsourced to those who did? I remember the days when it was considered poor form to embed someone else’s image on your page, not because of credit concerns, but because it meant they had to deal with an unexpected source of traffic.

I hate the ad-based internet, don’t get me wrong. But servers do cost time and resources to maintain, especially with the data-gobbling programs running on sites today, so if we want to break the ads, there needs to be another support model.

The internet was never free. It was just funded by different means.

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

REBLOGS ARE OFF CAUSE THIS GUIDE IS TERRIBLE AND YOU DESERVE BETTER

I will instead redirect you to THIS more comprehensive guide, and cobalt.tools. Cobalt solves the problem of low quality video when you're done with VLC, and it can also take videos from a dozen other social media platforms.

Support the cobalt dev and the better guide writer, not me. I'm just a person who boiled down a wikihow guide and a youtube tutorial into a TLDR. I did not do very much work. They have.

I might turn reblogs back on, but for now I implore you to put your attention where it's needed most. Thanks for understanding. (original post under the cut)
