and i know it may sound like im faulting the creators for wanting to earn, but it's just...tumblr is one of the very few media&writing platforms where monetisation & subsequent "subscriptions" (as in kofi, patreon, etc) is by choice. everything feels lax and a tad more personal, and that's what I've always loved about this place, no matter how stupid and chaotic it becomes at times. literally every other site monetizes, and it just feels distant, vv professional. i knows it's all about money and business but cant we keep this space to ourselves? i legit only come on here to check up on people i follow, because i feel like we're all just distant friends lol everything feels intimate and personal, it's just the atmosphere on here (smtimes its a tad too much tho lol),,,and it kinda makes me sad that's going to disappear. yknow coz you change your mannerisms and approach to cater to an audience that's paying for you,,, i wont see you talking about how you went for a boba run or screaming about how sukuna looks so good in this fanart ("agshsjdjdkdkdkdks hot hot hot" -- this isnt the type of content a paid creator will put out) there really is a good number of options out there, kofi is one of the best, if not the best, for such situations. even so, there's other platforms for the other stuff (radish for example) if that's their issue. why is tumblr trying so hard,,,is tumblr running out of funds to keep the servers, what's going on? yknow what i mean? like instagram, youtube, freaking wattpad -- god forbid twitter pulls something like this.

and yeah, it's going to be like wattpad ngl it's going go be dead. sure, there are still lots of people on there,,,but i think you understand what im getting at? the site legit feels dead. i still have wp because of one sole book that I've been waiting for an update for about two years now, but i would have deleted it if it weren't for that. remember how wp used to have a group chat feature? it was so fun too, and everyone was engaging and interacting with each other :<<

ahhh well. i cant imagine many people staying if it pushes through. I'll gladly support if i want to, and when i have the means to do so. it's just...damn did tumblr really think this through? especially with that feature where you cant block a person once they're subscribed to you? i can just feel the minors scrambling to see past the 'dni' lmaooo

no no, i think most of the creators (who writes fanfics) understands that we shouldn't be making money of people's art, tipping is still okay i think but monetizing a whole ass shit is bad news

same, yall see how my blog goes i feel like me screaming help on genshin, barking over some arts are not worth to be charged for my followers to pay. i have ko-fi if someone wanna tipped me but im doing this 100% completely for fun, i dont wanna monetize my smut or anything bcs first, im not responsible for people's online experience, if you dont like smut or anything, youre free to scroll away and second, i understand as a fellow broke bitch, i remember being sad on wattpad bcs i cant read certain story bc i need to pay and such so yeah lol plus this is my hobby, not a work

sadly monitoring minors should be their priority than monetizing, bcs im seeing people at low as 15 writing smuts and dark content
