#ad free Tumblr

[hellsite-hall-of-fame]

okay so someone gifted me ad-free Tumblr last july and it’s ending sometime this month….. and i’m scared

i’m not ready to deal with Tumblr ads again, i’ve forgotten how to function with their presence…. help

cursed answers only pls

Y'know how everybody's been complaining about the 3 second ads

I think I have an explanation

[gallifreyriver]

not gonna lie, this is creepy

like I get the site needs money to run, hence "ad-free tumblr" and "tumblr store" and "blazed posts" and all the other money making stuff they've already rolled out...

but putting a banner at bottom of screen telling us you can see when we're using an ad blocker maybe isn't it and maybe kinda feels invasive when people install stuff like ad blockers and privacy extensions because we didn't like how websites/corporations could see and track what we were doing... just saying.

why did i just get ad-free tumblr from someone who looks like a spam account

A while ago I wondered how to go ad free on tumblr. This is how:

Find an ad.

Click the three dots in the upper right hand corner.

Click go ad free.

Pay monies.

Win.

I’m sure it’s there somewhere else, but that worked for me.

If this thing doesn't stop popping up every time I visit a blog I'm gonna lose my mind.

Trying to support Tumblr while not falling out of the loop of making fun of out-of-touch and excessive advertising or losing precious Blaze ads from deranged fellow users <3.

Hey there! If you want to block ads on a phone, there's a reasonably easy way to do it (It won't block all hands but it will block 95% or more of them)

What you can do is you can go to this website, and follow the instructions for your device, whether it is an iOS or an Android phone. If you are having any problems, you can just send me an ask or something, and I'd be happy to help!

Bonus Round (you don't have to read this): I'll explain what this will actually do. When you set this up, you are changing your default DNS server. Usually, it just uses one that is set by your service provider, such as a proprietary one, or the 8.8.8.8 address provided by Google.

A DNS basically gives your device a map of the internet, and translates web addresses (such as tumblr.com) into IPs (such as 192.0.77.40). What this ad blocking DNS does is that it spoofs the address of ad-serving websites, and returns either an error, or it redirects it to its own website. Either way, the ads on your phone don't work because your apps can't connect to them at all!

Unfortunately, this method is not perfect, so you'll get some stuff like tumblr's "in-house" ads, like the colour of the sky socks et al, so if you can't live with that, you could always try to download some app off the internet instead, but that's always a bit more risky.

oooh thank you!!!

I had my Tumblr problem solved by a very very kind anon, but might still do this in the future!

also posting this in case anyone else mostly uses mobile and wants to try this !

gifting ad-free tumblr is going to be weaponised to make ppl miss the new hot ad meme, calling it now

[221bluescarf]

*me going back in time just to tell my teenage self that someday tumblr will actually have paid services*

[we-might-as-well-live]

Thank u for your posts about ad free tumblr. It had a lot of good info so i felt comfortable getting it and I haven’t seen a ball shaving ad in two weeks.

Its amazing and that alone is worth the price. The voices are finally blissfully silent

SHAVE YOUR BALLS
