Tumblr Nonsense - Tumblr Posts
but it only works if 4 people are having sex lol
So long as he doesn't out-compete or out-reproduce the local wildlife <3
I understand why people are scared about ryan reynolds joining tumblr but for christs sake it’s ryan reynolds i cannot think of a single celebrity who could possibly be less damaging to the ecosystem
Yoooo tumblr wtffff I don't know this person like that./ lh (is this common....? I'm still new to tumblr-)
@justanidiotartist (I pinged you cuz me thought you'd find this shit funni)
some very important info re: paid accounts~
I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:
You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.
If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.
Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.
1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.
2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.
3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.
4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)
5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.
Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.
6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.
tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.
We did it, Joe. The Little Hellsite That Could.
Okay I woke up and heard about Tumblr+ and was not happy :(
So I wrote up this thing in like 3 hours with some crappy art and stuff just to get my thoughts out there of some way @staff can actually get some money without using @postplus, as everyone hates it.
If you have some ideas of your own or wanna draw some cursed pins you’d use go ahead!

UPDATE POST! Drawn up some more ideas/refinements over a couple more hours as this is so popular rn. Images below
I am no website engineer so I have no idea how hard this would be to code, so I do doubt whether this would actually be viable. However this is a cool thought experiment and a nice example to @staff of what kind of monetization could be implemented which I would be happy to engage in.
I did try and think of the most viable way of making these work without completely rewriting the site but I can’t be sure.
There’s a strike being organised so I encorage you to parcitipate if you’re concerned about this >> postplus-protest.tumblr.com/post/657433316725833728/ <<
Also this whole tumblr+ may have been the upper managements fault? I’m not going to completely trust the article however I will take it on in good faith and hope all this backlash causes them to reconsider >>cipheramnesia.tumblr.com/post/657454075766603776/ <<
For anyone worried about giving their cards to tumblr (as they probably should be). I’d say that you could use paypal or a Virtual Debit Card Services so you avoid the chance of your credit info being leaked
Anyway thanks for commenting and reblogging my post. I’ve read all the comments and it makes me very happy that so many people are willing to support tumblr, as long as they do it right :)
Credit to @ncfan-1 for the swapping icons idea :D
