OP was taking about Tumblr, but I think it applies even more to the Fediverse: users need to develop an ethos of paying to support the sites they use. Otherwise advertisers pay the bills and call the shots.

I absolutely do not care enough about any site I use to be willing to pay. If it disappeared, I'd find something else to do with my time, just like I did reddit. I accept that I am the product, and simply do not care.
