Tumblr Is fucken great, you just can’t monetise it.
Suck shit
Tumblr is shit which is why you can’t monetize it
Try the shitposter arena instead of the virtue signallers
Really, Matt? Nothing else, like how you went scorched-earth on WPEngine and caught a lot of people in the crossfire and destroyed a lot of goodwill in the process? Nothing comes to mind?
Thank you. I knew I had heard his name before and had some “eff that guy” alarms going off but couldn’t remember why/where .
Hammer car explosion motherfucker
as a tumblr user, lol.
Since I am out of loop - my bias is still: why wouldn’t (furry) porn be profitable? :D
Simplenote, DayOne, Pocket Casts are already ready to challenge this failure - maybe not in terms of money, Matt. So never say never.
“so far”
I’m guessing he’s stupid or greedy.
Throw in an ad and the service pays for itself.
That is, unless he’s renting hardware like a dipshit.
A bunch of companies have been trying for years to monetize tumblr. They’ve all failed. Tumblr users are very proud of this.
They do call it a Hellsite for many reasons. Not being profitable is one of them.
At the same time, it has calmed down a bit as the user base has aged up, and the more volatile elements have left for bluer skies.
Oddly enough, other than the mess of the NSFW filter, it’s been fairly controversy free. You can still use their API without paying globs of money, for example. Twitter and Facebook have all thrown that out, and Reddit has made other bad decisions, in addition to imploding their third party app ecosystem.
I thought Twitter was the hellsite. When did tumblr become it?
I left when all my friends and follows stopped posting and my feed was all bullshit.
It’s been that for a while. Tumblr’s had it a while, between the earlier days of the user base, and the site not being the most well-coded thing compared to Twitter or Reddit.
I mean seriously if they just monetised the porn they’d be billionaires
