Look, i'm not encouraging staff to make Tumblr into a money hungry horrid website, but i'll be honest, i have no remorse or sadness for them when they add no monetizable features to the site, and then complain that its not making money. Clearly, from the blue check badge thing, we can see that its not impossible to make these users pay for things.(and then youve gone and made new badge designs free) Just add some interesting but overall unnecessary things that make the site more fun, and paywall it. thats going to be much more profitable than just waiting for people to donate or buy merch. Add dashboard customization i can buy to, idk, make posts into floating bubbles, i know so many people who would pay for that.
Not only that, but i also dont understand their approach to new features as well. I think theyre trying to imitate other sites(tumblr live, new for you page, etc.), but doing it in a bad way or just adding features we were glad arent in tumblr. On top of that, we have bugs and broken features that have gone unfixed since even before yahoo days. fix the search function already instead of trying to distract us with new features. Hell, if youre adding features, prioritize quality of life stuff. we dont need shiny new toys.

"lol you bought a blue checkmark? you've been played by caPiTALism"
Look I know exactly what the blue check mark is. I think everyone who has them (or a dozen) knows what it is. Its a pointless digital trinket and (to me) its FUNNY. I think its absolutely hilarious that Tumblr was able to capitalize off the twitter check-mark fiasco. I applaud them, get that money. I bought it because its a fun addition to my handle and because at the end of the day it helps them keep the lights on. I'd rather give money to this site for a dumb meme than to a site run by the worst guy or give anymore of my data to the Zuckerfuck meta mistake. This isn't like buying an NFT. We know.
We don't have to rail against capitalism every second of the day. Sometimes its fine to spend your money on silly shit

So yesterday I was drunk and I thought it'd be hilarious if I bought those two blue checkmarks. But then I thought it'd be even more hilarious if bought another two blue checkmarks. I just think it's perfectly reasonable and in character for this hellsite to just give me four. Ironically speaking. But this opens a fuck ton of possibilities. Had I been drunker, and bought even more checks, would my username be now followed by 10, 20 or even 50 blue checkmarks? How many are too many?? @staff ?????
