Commonly Used Tags and Submission Guidelines
Hello everyone! To keep things neat and tidy around here, I’ll be pinning this post to the blog since blog pages don’t exist on mobile (thanks, Tumblr!), and updating it as necessary. Please give this post a once-over before submitting.
Commonly Used Tags
This blog uses a few common tags to attempt to categorize the madness that is Tumblr ads. When submitting an ad, please select the appropriate tags.
Female-Presenting Nipple - Blatantly sexual or even completely pornographic advertisements.
Vinegar Bread - Ever noticed a trend of ads with… questionable advice recommendations? Don’t try these tips at home. Or anywhere.
Off-Targeted Advertising - From ads in random languages to completely incorrect for the user to whom it is shown. Ads that somehow completely missed their target demographic.
You Farted - Gross, offensive, crude, or otherwise completely inappropriate ads in a non-sexual way.
Pic Not Related - Ads where the picture makes no sense or is completely unrelated to the ad itself.
Unfortunate Wording - Ads that either have poor grammar or are unintentionally suggestive.
Eat a Worm, Fatty - Ads that attempt to sell a weight loss product. Don’t eat a tapeworm! You’re beautiful just the way you are, despite what these ads might have you think.
Hashtag Relatable - How do you do, fellow kids? These ads can do of a “meme” just like you young hipsters.
Working As Intended - These ads are glitched or just plain broken.
Completely Incomprehensible - We’re not quite sure what these ads are supposed to advertise, and neither do who or whatever wrote them.
Graphic Design is my Passion - These ads clearly didn’t hire an expert when it came to graphic design.
Mediocrity Machine - "AI" is an abomination, and these ads make this painfully obvious.
Praise Jebus - Needlessly religious ads, typically of the Protestant variety.
Original Content - A post where someone (usually me) has made some original content to go along with the ad screenshot.
Submission Guidelines
Before submitting an ad, make sure you follow these guidelines:
Ads from Tumblr only. We’re not interested in ads on other sites.
Only 100% real ads, no photoshops. If you want to goof on an ad, you can submit additional original content along with it.
Please crop your screenshots to only show the ad. We don’t want to see other posts or your phone UI. Please just crop the screenshot so that ONLY the ad in question is shown.
Please choose one or more applicable tags for your ad (see above)
Only one ad at a time, that way we can better categorize.
Thanks, everyone!
