Here Are The Top 5 Sponsored Posts On Tumblr This Year
Tech2 min read

Tumblr users generally seem to have come to terms with the site's native advertising, with sponsored posts from big brands like Ford and Warner Bros. getting hundreds of thousands of likes and shares this year.

As part of its Year In Review campaign, Tumblr has compiled the top 40 sponsored posts, with rankings based solely on note count (reblogs and likes) for the post's first 24 hours.

Here are the JPEGs and GIFs from the top 5, with their current note count:

5. Home Depot: 85,967 notes

4. Ford: 117,036 notes
