re: the latest tumblr news
is it really that shocking or alarming to people that the site is being put on a skeleton crew? no it's not dying, but it's definitely not receiving further updates
you either support the websites you like or you don't. this was coming. the best thing that could happen now would be for someone else to grab tumblr I guess... preferably a smaller group that actually cares

Really funny that ive had more error popups/failed attempts to post or rb than ever before in the like 11 years ive been on this site yet thats coinciding with tumblrs attempt to stay relevant/spend a bunch of money marketing themselves with dumbass ads and promote merchandise they stole from their own userbase while also forcing us to look at their requests for our money for features when they never msde this site usable in the first got dam place

My only gripe rn is tumblr staff will literally never listen to its user base like... you have the majority of the sites users against big updates that just don't fix anything and actually make the user experience Worse.... there is no effort in the sites staff to actually listen to complaints. Feel like tumblr could just lose its user base and they'd act like they don't know why

now that im No Longer Mentally Ill (/j) and have a life with two jobs and things to do i find myself drawing further away from tumblr and especially finding myself in a cycle of being frustrated and just never being able to be on tumblr without getting mad about something or another, and then i stop going on it as much, but then i miss it, so after like a week i start picking it up more again, have maybe a normal week or two, and then it devolves into annoyance and frustration again. anyway im in one of those annoyance periods right now

its so stupid to me that ppl were complaining about tumblr branded merch and they wanted merch that was callbacks to popular posts and iykyk style stuff that doesnt scream tumblr. so staff listened to that and started developing merch based on posts. and now everyone is complaining that they're stealing ideas from people bc theyre doing that. staff cant do a single thing to attempt to make money outside of advertisers w/o people complaining. like maybe youll be happy if this website shuts down but! i quite like it here. i want them to make money that isnt selling my soul to google. but if anyone gives any money to this website theyre evil oppressors and bullied into submission for *checks notes* recieving gifted checkmarks and having them visible.
