i think what ticks me off the most about recent changes staff have been making to tumblr is they keep insisting it's necessary bc they need to draw in and retain new users or they're NEVER going to keep things going, so their solution is to... add a bunch of annoying and unintuitive shit that A) isn't going to appeal to anyone, let alone new people, but also B) piss off the existing user base.

like, im sorry, between the two demographics who do you think is going to ACTUALLY care enough about tumblr to use it every day and pay for things like no ads, or your merch based off decade old memes? i give this site the 5 or whatever bucks it takes to get rid of its stupid ad posts in part bc they're annoying but also because i have been on this fucking webbed site for 12 years! and i don't mind giving it some money to keep it running. BUT. not if that's paying for staff's ability to add more useless/convoluted/unappealing features that dont have MY user experience in mind

#banebabbles #i will be with this site until it literally disappears but Still.#all that bullshit about how these are necessary changes bc you HAVE to make things intuitive to New Users is so bogus #first of all they're not intuitive anyway. like who the fuck would think to click on Empty White Headers #but secondly of all it really feels like throwing old users under the bus #yall really so thirsty for tiktok teens huh #THEY'RE NOT GONNA GIVE YOU MONEY. TUMBLR ISNT TIKTOK. AND THEY'RE LIKE 14
