i really think it is the company and not the tipping in the case....i just researched there stats: "In December 2023, the social network Tumblr.com had 198.3 million website visits worldwide, down from 230 million site visits six months earlier. In December 2018, the platform banned porn and adult content, a controversial move that sparked user outrage and caused artists and sex workers to move to other sites." That doesn't seem like you can build a fanbase off of anything with that number (and this is just surface level research). If TikTok implemented tipping, I bet it would be a different story, because they already offer gifts. The value of those gifts mainly go to TikTok. I watched hardcore followers sending massive quanitities of gifts to PO boxes as well.....I think Tumblr is just a lost cause at this point.
