Idea: the Tumblr Tip Jar
I love this. But I wouldn’t create a new button. I’d just use the existing ‘like’ and ‘reblog’ buttons. Users would be able to voluntarily pay any amount they want each month—say $5—and it would get distributed among the original posters of what they like and reblog.
Obvious problems:
1. Most original posters are not original creators.
2. Unscrupulous souls won’t reblog but will instead repost as an original poster.
