I think some people reallllly need to think about what they're saying on here. I see so many posts complaining about being 'targeted' and 'silenced' by 'tumblr staff' and like...... do people not hear themselves???? Do they not hear how they're barely 1 step removed from whining about 'free speech' and 'leftist censorship'. Social media right now is plauged with misinformation and conspiratorial thinking because people would rather go off the 'vibe' (superstition and paranoia) they feel than have a basic understanding of how a business operates and the limitations of algorithms and moderation.

#.txt #btw this includes youtubers who constantly complain about how their videos are shadowbanned by the algorithm #and their videos DONT EVEN SHOW UP in everyones sub box anymore #or the fuycking 'dont swear in the first 30 seconds of your youtube video' thing which is just fucking ABSURD #because if youtube was using its captions data to detect swear words and hide videos because of it #they wouyld not just care about the first 30 seconds why the fuck would they????????? not just scan the whole video????????????#it is genuinely kind of concerning sometimes seeing how willing people are to just believe randos about how a website functions #like just random users who are straight up lying about how the site functions
