#sponsored posts

[lurkingpuddle]

I'm starting a collection of sponsored posts that come across my dash that I call "who paid for this?"

First category, AI art

I love ads that are borderline incomprehensible.

hating the way tumblr loads sponsored posts before posts I wanted

[beacxhplease]

The two most recent ads/sponsored posts I’ve seen.

Has anyone else noticed all those dropshipping/sponsored posts on the popular blogs that are meant to be like, a random tweet liking it have taken to using "you're going to heaven so fast". Like I hate those posts so much so noticing that pattern has just irked me I guess.

beyond furious to discover that sponsored posts bypass the block system entirely and I have to see the same 3 posts clog up my dash that I’ve seen a million times already. stop fucking loitering around here you asshole

[violetganache42]

I don't trust these kinds of ads.

I feel like a lot of blazed posts would be better appreciated if they were in the format of "hey, I made a thing, here it is if you want to see" with a link to the artwork/video/book/etc

Since a post that is physically smaller and takes up less space would seem less intrusive, maybe?

That is, if tumblr wasn't awful with links :/

??? Are the sponsored posts lost too?????

[fauxmoux]

jam a fucking pencil into an electrical socket. just do it you piece of shit

Did You Know?

If you block someone here on Tumblr, but they use the Sponsored Post function, they can avoid your personal block list and their posts show up on your Dashboard anyway.

Ain’t that a kick in the fanny?  (:

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

[btbonescanon]

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

Hey Tumblr, do you check who you’re allowing to be sponsored on your site, like, at all?
