What’s the deal with the pins? Simple. Tumblr’s giving publishers another way to advertise. (That’s our pal maxistentialist up top.) Pay $5, get your post on the top of the dashboard for a full day. (It can be removed at any time. Just click the pin.) Love or hate? Or is it Pinterest envy?

Please no one do this. kthxbai
