so no one on tumblr staff experienced the “disclaimer: I own nothing” years of fanfiction.net at an influential age, huh...
#as usual i only know about the latest tumblr nonsense from posts complaining/warning about it
#(and you're right: you should complain about it!)
#i get the vague intent to blend with patreon and ko-fi which are promoted here a lot already but uh...
#uh no
#as someone whose initial fandom experience was those years of fanfic dot net
#i already get pretty wide-eyed when i see fan fic authors linking their ko-fi etc
#no fear of lawsuits? jesus i was just talking to a local woman-owned distiller at the farmer's market that got threatened by Fireball
#...for daring to name their cinnamon vodka Fire Bush
#they were like 'it's not whiskey! we're little! how did Fireball even find us!'
#consider this a metaphor: monetize your stuff and companies will be fireballing YOU
#i mean... i come at this from a fic perspective but... gif makers??
#c'mon we all know where they're getting their content
#unless it's from an official social media of a streaming platform
#netflix & etc. are not just providing their shows for your giffing and video-making needs
#(I mean... they should as sometimes there's no better promotion than a good video edit made simply by a passionate fan but i DIGRESS)
#i'm anti-piracy on principle because writers/artists need to get paid but uh
#any time i reblog a gif set some downloading or at best DVD ripping has gone on behind the scenes and i'm well aware
#do i have the answer to this? No! but the answer is not monetizing gif-making and fanart and fan fic! that way lies TROUBLE
#*oh no i see / a spider web is tangled up with me*
#*and we lost our heads/ and thought of all the stupid things staff said*
#OK and now to go back to fully ignoring this attempt at a change
#i fully expect it to not impact me or this site in any way at all and just fade into the ether like every change before
#my Tumblr experience marches on
#(*knock on wood*)
