#make money ad

[gibbearish]

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

#yes i want things to be free like ??? that is not a weird desire #'but but it costs money to keep up' ok and? how is that my problem #the government has plenty of murder dollars they could reallocate a few to make internet services universal if they wanted #also these companies were perfectly capable of supporting themselves before the internet got drowned with ads so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #edit: muting notifs on this post bc new additions have kind of petered out #so no one feel bad about adding something someone else has said‚ it is not bothering me im just trying to keep my #notifs page cleanish lol #also since i saw some people are being redirected to read my tags: firstly hiiiiii this is a special secret message for you:3 #secondly i have learned since making this that the reason they were able to support themselves previously was because #of investors bankrolling everything #and theyre now finally realizing that theyre never going to actually make a profit and arent as willing to invest #however thats just a minor correction and doesnt change my overall point #once again. so many murder dollars #so thats why im just adding it here in the tags rather than making an actual correction #anyways . love yall 💕 #origibberish #bigger gibbers

to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

#it actually would be way better if they didnt work and made no money bc businesses would abandon them #this isnt like stocks where everythings abstract and is essentially gambling (i dont understand stocks) #like ppl in the ad industry create things. that make a tangible and quantifiable impact on the business #which is then used in further ad planning. it is NOT all smoke and mirrors #like its fake in that the industry is not providing a necessary service the way like. grocery stores are #but its not the level of fake where everything is abstract like theres deliverables #moreover there is an extensive body of academic work specifically on how to make ads more effective #ALSO i think some of u views ads like. as if they have a win condition. which is you buy product #but in current advertising this is pretty rare and comparatively ineffective #which is why you see MANY ads which dont seem to be selling anything in particular. or which have nothing all to do with the product #the 'win' condition for THAT kind of ad is something more like 'viewers remember our name' #like. ex i would say ads for temu have not been effective on me bc i havent bought anything from them #but temu probably thinks they were SUPER effective on me because i talked abt them like 5 different times at work #and i do in fact know exactly what the company does and what they sell #and they were able to capitalize on the reputations of existing companies (wish shein etc) to build their own brand #good idea generator

i’m sure someone talked about this when jatp first came out but i just rewatched it in years. (not because i forgot about it, not because i didn’t like it, but because it hurt so much to know this show wasn’t getting renewed and i had to avoid it in order to protect myself)

something i just love about the show is how they never bash on any other types of music. and each character has more than one genre of music to like.

yes, Sunset Curve was a rock band and Julie and the Phantoms are more rock indie/alternative rock band.

but that doesn’t stop Reggie from liking country music, “I shred on the banjo,” and Jeremy Shada later on actually writing and performing “Home Is Where My Horse Is” (which I recommend heavily).

that doesn’t stop Alex from getting into Dirty Candi’s bubblegum pop music and dancing alongside Carrie on stage, (and how hard it must be for Carrie, who’s father is a rock musician, and how his fans must hate that his daughter is a fem bubblegum pop musician)

that doesn’t stop Luke from absolutely going insane over Caleb’s first performance, “The Other Side of Hollywood” with it’s 20’s era vibe and Broadway level intensity. (he was also into more classic rock as shown when he tried playing a song that Bobby/Trevor stole for Julie) (and lets not forget that he can also make the most emotional ballad of alternative rock)

and that doesn’t stop Julie from alternating between piano, rock music, pop verses, love ballads, and indie rock. and she and Flynn never once talk badly about Carrie’s music genre.

everyone can have more than one type of music they’re interested in or just show appreciation for instead of bashing it or disregarding it and i love that this show did this.

#Flynn just didn’t like that Carrie was using her dad’s money for costumes and big choreography lessons #but she never criticized her for her bubblegum pop music #im pretty sure julie was also slightly piano classically trained #also #i think i could be making it up in my head but i still like it for her #also her brother is into rap; another music genre added there #show me who wrote this first; i would like to reblog and thank them for their controbution years earlier #bc im convinced im not the first one to notice this #julie and the phantoms #julie molina #luke patterson #alex mercer #reggie peters #sunset curve #carrie wilson #jatp

youtube FUCK YOU for putting ads in the middle of a child bride trafficking victim‘s testimonial of what was done to her. fucking disrespectful. do ads have to be fucking everywhere like are you so for real right now. fucking dystopian to watch a documentary about violence and repression against women and girls and suddenly there is a hellofresh ad

#can you just… not put ads in videos that treat such serious topics #there is no way to do this that isnt tonedeaf and disrespectful #im sure you will make enough money with ads on influencer videos #girl is in tears struggling to tell her story… and they put a god damn insurance ad in there #anti capitalism #rant

Jamie’s believe sign was in a copy of the beautiful and the damned, which is the book ted gave him in 1x03, that he threw out without thinking twice…he remembered the title and found it years later…Jamie tartt who can’t spell for shit and is probably dyslexic tracked that book down and started reading it because Ted picked it for him

#ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #jamie tartt #he really is the best character on this show sorry I don’t make the rules #also him putting the money in Nate’s little box and adding a little extra… #it’s about making up for lost time it’s about doing better today than you did yesterday

So recently I made this poll, and in typical fashion, I didn't quite think it through. As a result, I made it way too easy to choose. 😅💦 That's my B. So in an attempt to make something a little bit less unbalanced, I'm redoing the poll with some changes.

Same scenario: Two job offers, can't have a second job or a side hustle.

The first offer is still your dream job, but this time you make enough to support yourself. And nothing else. Your bills are paid, and there's food on your table and gas in your car, but there is no room in your budget for anything beyond that. You are only making just enough money to keep your head above water. God help you if you have an emergency.

The second job is essentially the same as last time: Naked in an empty room for eight hours a day, Monday through Friday, with a lunch break, and you're allowed to bring your own entertainment. Whatever you bring in the room with you has to leave with you at the end of the day, you can't bring other people with you, and you are being recorded and livestreamed for the whole eight hours barring your lunch break. You're not allowed to cover yourself. The job pays six million a year.

I'm curious how much the answers will change compared to the first time around. And if you voted in the last poll, tell me if your answer changed and why. 😃

#polls #now to see if I went to hard in the opposite direction #and made the first option the obvious choice 🤣🤣 #I made the second choice less appealing bc that's the whole point #do you do what you love and barely get by #or do something really uncomfortable for a lot of money #also added the 'take what you came in with ' thing #bc I saw people mentioning furnishing the room with a bed or gaming rig #which would make the room less uncomfortable #also specified being alone to avoid people bringing their SO's as their entertainment #again the second option is meant to be unappealing and uncomfortable #but you get a shit load of money for it

Calling All Ad-Free Subscribers

if you hate the new dashboard layout and find it unusable, and/or hate Tumblr Live and want it gone forever

CANCEL YOUR AD-FREE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT NOW

and send Tumblr Support a POLITE message telling them you have done so and why.

The ONLY chance of getting Tumblr execs to pay attention to existing user feedback rather than whatever the marketing department is telling them about new users, is to hit them in the wallet.

You'll still get the remaining time on your subscription before they start shoving ads down your throat, and if they haven't fixed shit by then, there's always adblockers.

This is the wording I used:

Hi Support, I have just canceled my ad-free subscription due to the unusuable dashboard layout and the inability to permanently disable/remove Tumblr Live. In addition, I will no longer purchase merchandise or gifts. I am not willing to give money to a company which has made clear that it does not care about or listen to its userbase, especially the loyal ones who've been around for a decade or more. If Tumblr reverts the layout changes or otherwise makes the dashboard usable again, AND provides the ability to permanently disable Tumblr Live (both at no cost to users), I will reconsider my decision.

Tumblr has made clear they only care about money. Let's speak their language.

#tumblr #tumblr update #psa #ad free #subscription #please reblog #the only way this works is if enough of us do it #that the numbers go visibly down #on the tumblr execs' 'are we making money charts'

Finally my youtube channel is eligible for monetization, which means I get to decide how many ads there are, which means NO midroll ads because I hate them!! I hate them so much and it's very scummy of youtube to have been putting them on my videos without paying me anything, just because I hadn't met their arbitrary requirements for watchtime.

#youtube #fuck midroll ads!! #I've had an adblocker installed for years and I forget how bad it is without one. goddamn #I'm making videos because I want to make videos and show people how I sew stuff‚ I'm not looking for it to be A Job #already got a patreon for that‚ and it earns money Without having to annoy thousands of people

This is what I mean when I say the average fandom legit treats artists like content machines instead of people. We're not allowed to ask for support of any kind, we just have to shut the fuck up and give you whatever you want for free no matter if it means we have to live in poverty or we're selfish, greedy monsters. Real "I can't believe this handmade crochet blanket costs $500 you're so selfish don't you know I'm too poor to buy that?" type energy. Clown shit of the highest degree.

You're not fans, you're entitled assholes who have no idea how the world works and got their understanding of class politics from oppression olympics type dipshits on twitter who think anyone who isn't so poor they live in their car and can't afford food is part of the 1% and it's so fucking obnoxious.

#I could make decent money if I took sponsorships on my streams or upped my ad times #but I dont bcs I want my channel to be funded by viewers not beholden to advertizers #guess that makes me a selfish greedy monster! #watcher drama

[puppet-purgatory]

so let me get this straight, watcher:

An unknown party is planting VHS tapes on your own set weekly, containing ad reads by:

a self-proclaimed professor

who mentions unfortunate encounters with horses

who has an 'estranged wife'

whose jacket is tan and tie and red

who is a 'gamer'

whose image flickered in like a hologram in an earlier ad read,

and you want us to just like, not think Something Smells Fishy. OK...

#mod post #mystery files #puppet history #watcher entertainment #shane madej #my actual theories? it's very possible these are being made and planted by the substitute and that's what i'd put my money on. however #at times it seems like he's sort of uncertain what to say next or like he's coming up with things on the spot? so i think it would be funny #if these were being made and sent by the puppets in purgatory; we know they make their own ads for their own shows and they were able #to send A Hologram to the Realm Of The Living so maybe a VHS isn't out of the question. this then makes me think that someone in there has #accidentally made up a character who's Just The Professor Himself Kinda. sorry guys not everyone is cut out for the writer's room !! #honestly though that seems like a happy end for them. i think they should be allowed to make watcher ad reads and their silly TV shows #instead of necessarily Having to go to the afterlife! #my third theory is this is just watcher having fun and doing it purposely. it fits that the corkboard show would have us doing the same

[heartru]

my least favourite thing from the watcher discourse has been people saying “WE never asked for higher quality” or “your most popular shows are where you just sit around and talk!!” - babes its likely not what THEY want to do for the rest of eternity lol. they’re allowed to want to grow as creatives and make things they are proud of?

#like i absolutely didn’t agree with their move to a paid model platform but this response isn’t the criticism u think it is #that and also the continious shit i saw about steven owning a tesla #like babes its HIS money? he’s allowed nice things and upgrades in his life lol? #AND the stuff about them making 100k from patreon with eat the rich comments #100k per month likely doesn’t cover all operating costs like you guys r thinking it does #they likely didn’t want to keep doing ad reads that interrupted their content structure and how they THEMSELVES percieved its value #as a former business major tho i def think even a little bit of market research could have stopped this lol #respectfully no one wants to pay for another thing #and the communication on it was unfortunately shit #but its not that big of a mistake that we tear em down like this #watcher #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim

HI HELLO DO YOU LIKE AUDIO DRAMAS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR OWN AUDIO DRAMA well do I have news for you

for quite some time, I have been working on putting every bit of practical information I have about making a podcast into some kind of readable resource and I'm very happy to say that, by george, I think I've done it.

that link will take you to our resource page which has links to a 35-page handbook that takes you through every step of podcast production (on our merch page, but you can download for zero dollars! do it!) and a direct download of a 15-page pdf about how I take an idea from development through scripting.

this is by no means the be-all-end-all definitive correct guide on how to make an audio drama. as I emphasize many times throughout, this is just how I do things, but it's a pretty thorough rundown of how I do things. if you've been too overwhelmed to start your own show, I sincerely hope this helps you!

#audio drama #podcasting #indie podcasts #lauren shippen #atypical artists #free resources #lauren writes things #I'm gonna be honest you guys #I'm...pretty fucking proud of this thing #it's 50 pages of - what I think is - pretty practical advice and genuinely helpful tips #I really believe in keeping AD a place where indie shows can thrive and anyone can try their hand at production #which is why I've spent so much of my own money through the years making other ppl's indie shows #and I can't really do that anymore financially #but I still believe in the spirit of that #and I think this is a nice way to keep that alive #anyway! I hope you like it and find is useful! #and obviously if you are so inclined #you can also pay any amount of money to download the pdf #it was a BONKERS amount of work #so that's always appreciated! #lauren makes things

Hey everyone, since tumblr is dead set on running itself into the ground I have made 2 backups! One on Twitter (ew. I know.) and one on Bluesky.

Left is Twitter. Right is Bluesky.

I AM NOT LEAVING TUMBLR BTW!

At least not as of now. These are just backup accounts and will remain mostly inactive unless I need them. I might throw a couple of posts on there but it won’t be anything I haven’t already posted here!

Because of the nature of those platforms I will most likely have to upload everything as videos and add the needed links and transcription in replies. This would be a lot more work so let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

#and yes I turned off the AI scrapping shit #but AI companies do whatever they want #and tumblr is just after money #not adding any of the filtering tags to this cause it’s important #might reblog a couple of times as well #just to make sure everyone sees it #this is also here in the event tumblr ever randomly decides to ban me or some shit #so you know where to find me #im also on YouTube. username is @huh0069
