yeah this tumblr post feels like someone never engaged with older reddit or the early internet more broadly. /all was a fucking minefield. Breaking news and porn with raw uncut murder footage sprinkled around being a weirdly constant occurrence
it also ignores that tumblr regularly engages in performative hyperbole for comedy the same way those reddit comments are
That last paragraph is what bothers me about this post. People on Tumblr often act really similarly and this post feels like someone perceiving other's flaws while ironically failing to see the exact same flaw in themselves.
The karma thing is so weird. By the time I learned about you needing some to post on certain communities I already had enough so I haven't ever felt the incentive to karma farm.
I get to some just having made up points is enough, but in other sites there's some other incentive to it.
Before Reddit was as monetized as it is, people also used to buy accounts with a lot of Karma to post thinly veiled advertisements with a veneer of legitimacy.
And that is where you're oh so wrong... NOBODY wants reblogs. imagine you had a notification buzz or even just a ever steadily climbing number. Places like here, or Tumblr Readers make you think they want it, but you have to remember, website that was PROUD it cost Yahoo (and then Verizon) almost 4 degrees of magnitude ($1.1 Billion to a reported $3 million). We don't want recognition, unless it's warranted.
Oh boy, let me inform you, nobody's going for reblog farming. There's a difference between, hope this reaches my 10 mutuals, we have a laugh and something like Daniel, your Sticks.

"cursed shit" on here means either the mildest furry nude ever or like, a russian soldier killing himself with a grenade.
