i also really don't like that principle 5: create a pattern to encourage users to keep returning to tumblr. taht's SKEEVY as Hell and i hate hate hate the way corporations will design internet platforms to specifically be addicting i Hate that.

#i didn't include this on the tags in the other reblog because if there's even a chance those tags can be taken as feedback i dont want it to #be dismissed off of 'unfounded concerns' or 'not understanding the goal of these changes' #i understand the goal i understand that increasing the userbase is to get Bigger Numbers to show Big Numbers to people who will pay money t #keep the website up. but i hate it. #i hate it #also btw i hate it #i really genuinely think that tumblr should try crowdfunding #i dont know if that's possible with whatever legal jurisdiction they're in but #then it might also give tumblr users a better idea of just how much this site costs to keep up #idk idk it's wishful thinking but >:C
