Every year, multiple times a year, they convince ppl to fork out thousands of dollars and….literally nothing changes. There’s no doubt in my mind they’re pocketing most of this money lol
Yep
That’s what’s so wild to me. They’ve made exactly 0 changes other than adding the ‘Exclude’ tags and that def doesn’t take 130k.
You know if any of you actually bothered to click the link it’ll take you to their budget update and break down exactly what the spend the money on, over 70% of which is spent on server expenses, monitoring tools and system licences.
They also spent a good amount of the rest of the 30% budget on significant server overhaul costs.
AO3 is literally a service you get for free and the audacity you’d have to not bother reading the very open budget plan they have, but to then bitch and whine about people donating to keep the site running is wild.
also, see this button riiiiiiiight there in the bottom right? that little circle with an x?
click it! the donation bar will go away until the next drive! it’s almost like you don’t have to donate at all and you’re complaining for no reason!
here, for all of those who are happy to revel in their ignorance and cynicism and can’t be bothered to do some fucking research
For the OP asking for the changes… like why would you even want changes? Tumblr collectively freaks out everytime the interface changes. Change for the sake of change just confuses people and invite bugs onto the website. If it works, don’t break it.
