Ep 92 – Occupy Tumblr
Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 2:00PM In this episode, Myke and I discuss another one of my crazy ideas that I have, despite my reservations when recording this episode, decided to set into motion). I’m dubbing it Occupy Tumblr. Here the deal, I love Tumblr. I use Tumblr. I fear for Tumblr. You see, they have no discernible business model. They have taken mountains of VC investment money. I think they should allow a way for me, and others that use the service, to pay. I think they should take our money instead. So, I’m done waiting for them to come up with a plan for this. I’m going to send them a ten dollar bill, every month, with a note, asking them to consider letting me pay at least this much or more to equal the value I get from the service. I’m inviting others, who I’m calling The 1% – that being 1% of Tumblr’s 36 million blogs, to join me. I personally think three hundred thousand people each sending a ten dollar bill might let them know they don’t need VC money to survive they need us.
