I block blank blogs because of spam bots.

One time I shared a post that contained (unbeknownst to me) incorrect information about how big anglerfish are and people sent me anon hate about it for years and accused me of being the center of a conspiracy to spread fish-based misinformation, I would occasionally get messages in my inbox out of the blue like "You're a terrible person for telling lies about fish and I hope you die," and I think that that more than anything else is the real Tumblr Dot Com experience

Anyway anglerfish are fucking huge. They're born the size of a Ford F250 and grow up to be six times taller than God.

I didn’t know that polished malachite didn’t react to water and when I saw a bathroom with a bunch of malachite in it I was like Holy Shit What A Bad Idea

And I got several messages telling me I was what was wrong with both tumblr and America and I should die

Anyway I don’t talk much on this site anymore

Very on brand for Tumblr to think "misinformation" means "being wrong about inconsequential trivia"

Btw I saw an anglerfish on my way to work earlier and that bitch was at least 500 apples tall

My best friend is an anglerfish, so I personally can confirm, at least 10,000 apples tall. 

Damn that's like 2,000 Hello Kitties

for a while there i was sympathetic to tumblr because of how much they’re in debt; i was kind of like “well of course they’re absolutely desperate for new users, they literally need the money or else tumblr goes down forever”. and then suddenly today it hit me that there’s actually no fucking reason for that debt to be causing these ui changes? the userbase has been INCREDIBLY clear about what they want from tumblr over the years, not to mention clear about the fact that even twitter people don’t need this place to look like twitter. it actually would be very… EASY? for them to just make changes in a direction people would actually be HAPPY with?

for fuck’s sake there were people trying to organize a “crab day” for tumblr despite tumblr doing nothing but telling us to go fuck ourselves for months on end. there were people spending hundreds of dollars on check marks just for the glee of MAKING FUN of twitter. can you IMAGINE how much money this userbase would donate to tumblr if they actually made ui updates geared toward what people have been asking for?

if tumblr actually crowdsourced ideas or even just LISTENED to their userbase it may have been possible for them to make way more money than they’re begging for now, they just insist on trying to drive their actual demographic and loyal userbase out for literally no reason

One time I tried to listen to a true crime podcast (I've never denied being an edgelord with a fascination for macabre shit) but I tapped out halfway through the first episode b/c the people on the serial killer podcast started talking about how being a goth is a sign that someone is probably a serial killer

"An unnatural interest in darkness and evil" Motherfucker that's what your podcast is

This happens so often in true crime oh my gods. “This person had a bunch of books about serial killers” the only difference between this murder suspect and you is that they read books STFU True Crime People
