#ad--free subscription

[auressea]

tumblr's official response to the Clown Ad

(I have an ad blocker- I don't NEED to pay tumblr). I paid for ad-free browsing because I want to support the site which I have made my on-line home for over 10 years. they made some positive changes this past year--until August I was hopeful...

Then they blocked my access with a Clown on my dash. An AD! Advertising a TV show during an actors/writers Strike...

so I wrote an official complaint- demanding a refund of my Ad-Free subscription:

Sep 3, 2023, 12:56 PM EDT

hullo- i have an active paid subscription to Ad Free Browsing. last week for several days - a large ad (for a netflix show??!) was placed OVER the right side of my dash and account info. I could not access the "next" button to move through my previous dashboard pages. additionally- the ad was visually Disturbing, and clicking it by accident caused changes to my dash that I did not want or ask for. I'm visually impaired and These changes to the background made it impossible to use the site. I had to use an external browser extension to find and disable this element. DESPITE HAVING PAID YOU TO NOT SEE ADS. THIS is unacceptable. I would like a refund of my ad free subscription.

This is the official message:

Hey there, Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback. What you're seeing is a Tumblr takeover in partnership with Netflix's One Piece. An Ad-Free subscription doesn't prevent you from seeing occasional Tumblr takeovers or other special editorial content. There is some more infomation about this here under the section "Promotional Content":  https://help.tumblr.com/hc/en-us/articles/4418605293975-Ad-Free-Browsing#promotional-content The One Piece takeover is wrapping up soon, so you should soon see your dashboard return to normal.  We've always been up front about Ad-Free excluding Tumblr takeovers and editorial content, so this wouldn't constitute a breech of any agreement, and we're not able to offer any pro-rated refunds on annual Ad-Free subscriptions. However, we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us, and we're taking the feedback received during this promotion into consideration to help inform our decisions about how Ad-Free should work in the future. So we really appreciate you reaching out and sharing your thoughts!  I hope you have a nice week, and thanks for being a part of Tumblr.

Hey maybe a group of creatives deciding that they want control over their content and don't want to waste time and resources begging for ad revenue is like. A good thing

What??? Why can’t I keep what I’ve got and not have to pay more for extras I won’t use? I don’t want to blaze anything! I don’t go over the limits for posting, queuing or liking! I bought Ad-Free because I wanted to get rid of the ads and support a website I liked using. Now I have to go back to seeing ads and stop my support! This isn’t what I want at all!

@support @staff this is a really, really, really bad idea!!! Please walk it back or you will lose this subscriber. Just let me keep the plan I have! Don’t try to gouge more money out of me for the same service (I will not use the extras!) or you will not get any more money from me at all.

people come and people go, but i stay (ghostride)

The year is 2084. PnF has been revived for a twelfth season. There are seven more shows in the Dwampyverse, and Milo Murphy's Law gets its own movie. Alyson Stoner is still voicing a character in every single series Dan and Swampy make.

And we still haven't gotten the rest of Hamster and Gretel season 2 on Disney+.

I recently bought one of the 'support tumblr medal badges' and was surprised to learn that that didn't include ad-free browsing, as most other social media sites consider supporting their site synonymous with not seeing ads. Are there plans to combine these offerings in the future?

Answer: Hey there, @improbabledreams900.

We would love to say more here, but all we can say is that yes—we’re looking into it. 😉 

Stay tuned to the usual channels, folks! There’ll be news here or at @changes—and sooner rather than later, hopefully. 

Thanks for your question, and have a lovely day!

KEEP GOING TO THE CINEMA, WATCH SHIT IN IMAX, 3D, 4DX, ETC. KEEP THE INDEPENDENT CINEMAS OPEN

KEEP PHYSICAL MEDIA ALIVE. COLLECT DVD, CD, CASSETTE, VINYL

GET A DVD/BLU-RAY PLAYER BECAUSE THAT SHIT SO GOOD BRO like you get all the special features, commentary, subtitles. and most importantly, this shit is ad-free and subscription-free.

If youtube had the means and legal permission to drill a hole in our skulls and pour ads directly into the soft matter of our brains, they wouldn't hesitate for a fucking second

[trashscrounger]

is there an ad free place to listen to nightvale presents shows that's not a specific show subscription? I've paid for spotify and YouTube premium and they way they include ads on the actual media file too. its a lot, guys. like 3-10 minutes. this episodes from over 8 years ago, why memorialize an ad inside your art 🥲 and literally mid episode on the season finale 💀

[4thegadiesandlentlemen]

I can't wait a week for my fucking show. How am I supposed to go on when the previews for each episode get me all worked up only to have to wait for 7 days until I can itch that part of my brain. I need that dead rabbit narrating this nd man and the two people who forced themselves into his home, one of them being his ex. Oh my god these three are the end of me

Here's where you can find me...

I'm not leaving tumblr (yet?) but wanted to make a more formal post about where else you can find me.

-> Pillowfort (I have invites I can send out if you want one!)

-> Bluesky

-> Instagram

-> AO3 (Go subscribe, as I don't know if I'll be posting snippets/promos on here anymore)

Or alternatively, check out my carrd, all my socials/connections are listed there, and it will act as my new masterlist (so long as I remember to update it lol)

Tunblr's ads continue to be mildly insane

[elithelurker]

[fujobritta]

[blackboxtheater]

Do you have an account on TV Tropes?

I'll be completely honest, this is the first time I even realized you could make an account on TV Tropes.....

I have spent hours on that website and I NEVER noticed the login button.

A+ observations skills right here

So no, I do not lol

add '##div.FZkjV:nth-of-type(3)' and '##.gLEjz' into ublock origin's element picker mode to get rid of the tumblr premium ads if you just got them (like i did). you're welcome.
