It’s like they trying to thread the needle between old tumblr everyone loved that allowed for whatever kink you wanted and appearing on the up and up for investors.

      And the tumblr users keep finding new ways to keep the website unprofitable (-30 million a year). Every time Tumblr tries to introduce a new feature or policy change they riot and make it their sole mission to destroy it. They introduced corporate and government accounts and tumblr users shunned them so they left. They introduced tipping as a feature, that got removed. They tried live video streams, and users successfully made it so advertisers did not want anything to do with it. They purposely crash the website by scheduling posts all at the same time and the website can’t handle it. I honestly respect it. It is really funny.

          doggirl-lol Become ungovernable moment. As much as I hate tumblr, I also love tumblr moments like these, the advertisers have no fucking clue what tumblr users want, and tumblr is so desperate for cash they do not have any quality standards for adverts. It’s great.
