Korea's famous blog, Tistory's terms and conditions have changed to the detriment of users

This afternoon, the management of Tistory, a popular Korean blog, posted a new notice. The main content is that Tistory can arbitrarily place advertisements on bloggers' posts. It is said that the form, location, frequency of exposure, and attribution of revenue are decided by Tistory.

Change of Tistory operation policy: Random advertisement exposure

Currently, there is no exact story on what to do, but Tistory has added a clause stating that advertisements can be placed within the service from February 6, 2023. There is no exact information on what will happen in the future, but it seems that the mainstream opinion among netizens is that Tistory is randomly placing new advertisements at the top and bottom.

Also, according to the clause, the attribution of revenue is determined by the company, so there is a possibility that advertising revenue may not go to bloggers. Also, according to the clause, the attribution of revenue is determined by the company, so there is a possibility that advertising revenue may not go to bloggers. Although there are some opinions that if profits are made with Tistory, the benefits will not come back, but the majority of the opinions are that they will prepare to move to another platform, or that they should rather charge a usage fee.

However, considering the previous Kakao fire incident, I think it wouldn't be bad to think about additional platforms in case of an unknown situation. Also, Tistory needs to provide a more user-friendly explanation.

Date of change policy

It will be revised from February 6, 23, and if you do not agree, it is written that you can reject it within 7 days after implementation and withdraw. It is an explanation that if you do not object, it will be judged that you have agreed to the amendment. It is quite unkind and seems to be telling you to leave Tistory if you don't like it. I think it would go in a better direction if we explained it a little kindlier, guided the direction of the future, and collected opinions.
