(Pocket-lint) – Tumblr is allowing its users to opt out of ads on the desktop and in its mobile apps.
By paying 4.99 per month or purchasing a year of ad-free browsing for 39.99, you can use the service like people did before Tumblr started banning NSFW content and before Yahoo bought it in 2013 for $ 1.1 billion and before Verizon sold it to WordPress owner Automattic Inc. Now, anyone who uses Tumblr can once again experience the ad-free version of the site.
They just have to pay up.
How to opt-out of ads on Tumblr
Tumblr, which is known for first introducing microblogs, is offering a zero-ad experience less than a year after it gave bloggers the option to charge for access at prices ranging from $ 4 to $ 10 per month. It’s clearly exploring new ways to generate revenue streams while also incentivizing creators. If you’re the type to subscribe to various services, such as Twitter Blue, then maybe you’ll be willing to fork up some cash to remove ads. It remains to be seen, however, whether there are many users out there who fit that description.
