hey y'all, did a search but didn't see any threads about this
just found out that tumblr updated its ToS last week regarding affiliate links, basically if you don't turn off the functionality in your admin you grant tumblr the option to add their own aff links to your posts
"What is an affiliate link?
It's a link to an online merchant but it contains an extra bit of information—"parameter" is the technical term—called an affiliate code. That code tells the merchant where a visitor/customer came from. And if there's a sale, that the referrer may get a commission.
When does Tumblr add its affiliate code to my links?
Tumblr's affiliate code only gets added to links if 1) you haven't disabled Tumblr affiliate codes in settings, 2) you haven't used your own affiliate code, and 3) the link goes to a participating merchant.
Can I opt out so Tumblr's affiliate code isn't added to my links?
Yep. There's a switch in your Tumblr's settings called "Affiliate links." Flip it off. Keep in mind that this only affects links you post—you could still see affiliated links that other people post."
