It’s common to think of Tumblr as an unkillable cockroach because it has survived several predictions of doom in the past, but note that all of those occurred in the cheap-money era when, even if Tumblr wasn’t making a profit, it was basically fine to ignore it and let it do its thing quietly off in the corner if it wasn’t losing too much money. That’s no longer the world we live in and, as @togglesbloggle mentioned, I do think there’s a good chance Tumblr will stop existing in the next 1-3 years. You should have a plan and exit strategy for if that happens.

(And if you want it not to happen, you need to get the subscription for ad-free tumblr or buy the checkmarks or something. Zero-interest rates and adtech made everyone forget this, but you really do have to pay for the stuff you use.)

I usually feel really uncomfortable telling anyone to buy something. Like, what do I know about this person’s finances? If they buy the thing, what else are they not gonna be able to afford as a consequence? What if I’m contributing to a terrible financial decision? That said. Like. Have you ever bought one of these ad-free browsing subscriptions? Like Tumblr’s or Youtube Premium or whatever? Have you ever paid an annoying amount of money up-front, but after that the whole vibe of the website changes? All of a sudden the whole layout is designed around enhancing your experience instead of trying to sell you something? Have you ever felt in your bones that you just transitioned from being the product to being the customer?

In a fit of Wikipedia scrounging (sponsored by ADHD, for all your random interest needs!), I was reading about mulberry trees and

"Some North American cities have banned the planting of mulberries because of the large amounts of pollen they produce, posing a potential health hazard for some pollen allergy sufferers.[10] Actually, only the male mulberry trees produce pollen; this lightweight pollen can be inhaled deeply into the lungs, sometimes triggering asthma.[11][12] Conversely, female mulberry trees produce all-female flowers, which draw pollen and dust from the air. Because of this pollen-absorbing feature, all-female mulberry trees have an OPALS allergy scale rating of just 1 (lowest level of allergy potential), and some consider it "allergy-free".[11]

Mulberry tree scion wood can easily be grafted onto other mulberry trees during the winter, when the tree is dormant. One common scenario is converting a problematic male mulberry tree to an allergy-free female tree, by grafting all-female mulberry tree scions to a male mulberry that has been pruned back to the trunk.[13] However, any new growth from below the graft(s) must be removed, as they would be from the original male mulberry tree.[14]"

Now all I can think of is Trans trees.
