things i will miss about tumblr
Dec. 10th, 2018 02:40 pm i'm starting to transition off of all of the corporate social media platforms for a lot of reasons, and the one i think i'll miss the most is tumblr. it is an incredibly effective meme generator, simply due to both the size of the community and how easy it is for adjacent communities to "infect" each other we new ones. it also had some of the best semi-public communities i've ever participated in (and also some of the worst, but that's how it goes, i guess), which has largely gone away due to them making changes needed to monetize their user base as hard as possible. there is, by definition, only one way to maximize profits from a social media website.
