... oil slick?

Why does it feel the need to clarify that a year is 12 months? And why is it or 12 months?

I assume it means you get it either at 12 months of monthly subs, or as soon as you buy the year sub.

Ah. Weird. I didn't notice the first option had a price on it too, I guess I just thought that was the one currently selected or something so it showed a price.

It's likely because they figure they might as well give you that tier on day one as soon as you buy the year sub, since it's not like you can cancel early or anything, you paid for the whole year already.

Cause that's what it looks like

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Tumblr's monetization has easily been one of the least intrusive of any site I use. They're literally not even hiding any usability features behind this, it's straight-up just "bling".

Yeah, that's why it started to plummet into near-obscurity.

Yahoo bought it for $1 billion in 2013. In 2018, all adult content was removed; a year later, the traffic dropped so much, that it was sold again for less than $3 million.

The CEO is also deflecting criticism about the myriad of recent problems users have had with the site:

Meanwhile dude has been stripping functionality from the site and the app, including a worse dashboard that mimics Twitter's layout. Half of the userbase got the new dash and the other half didn't, I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't.

tbf the Tumblr fanbase celebrated when that sale happened. Every one of us was a little bit responsible for Yahoo losing one billion dollars.

They did it themselves, and the porn ban has fucked the website over to this day, but the fact they lost a cool billion on fucking Tumblr is hilarious.

Twitter will still be alive, partly because of porn. Their sticks would plummet if they banned.

Meanwhile I'm over here not giving a shit what the dashboard looks like because 95% of my use is through the app.

Pretty sure it affects the app's dash too, that's the thing. We might have both gotten lucky.
