WHO ELSE HAS REALIZED THAT TUMBLR IS SELLING BLUE CHECKMARKS AND YOU CAN GET TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE ON TWITTER?!?!?!?!

#THEY'RE IMPORTANT BLUE CHECKMARKS #you get two check marks by your name not just one #the way I want one #and how it might just turn into a bunch of crabs #prime elon musk mockery #elon musk #twitter #tumblr

from the website owner who bans you if you link to his blog

"We have a contractual obligation to try to make Live as successful as possible through the end of the year"???!!!!???!? (emphasis mine)

contractual with who???!!!?!?!

#explains why they were pushing it so hard but geez #that fucking glowing live button is what made me ditch the app #i haven't looked at a tumblr ad (ie given them ad views and money) since august #what kind of contract makes you try to hype up a feature everyone hates #who made this for them #what the fuck tumblr #since nobody else was talking about holding photomatt accountable i went to check his blog myself and sure enough it's all kissass #''thank you for making tumblr the best it's ever been'' LAUGHING MY FUCKING ASS OFF #and ''ooooo ai will fix everything! ai will make tumblr better! ai will let you migrate your blog to wordpress! i suck openAI sloppy!'' #and ''boo hoo people told me i run the site like shit that makes me feel bad'' #sorry asshole i have no patience for people who ban users for saying ''here give the website owner ur honest feedback on his website'' #'and ''boo hoo nobody is paying us for ad free and blaze and checkmarks and crabs'' #and all the while hiding posts about sfw transgender topics and empty reblogs and photos of a fish in an mri machine for 'tos violations' #yeah gee i wonder why nobody wants to fucking give you their money #just about the only reassuring thing he mentioned was beefing up the trust & safety team but again #if they keep banning posts about being trans etc. then this is not very reassuring after all #rip tumblr

gonna delete this later bc i know it’s unproductive to screenshot / namedrop and i actually am thinking the best approach would just be to privately share this thought w the dev who posted this in a possibly futile attempt to effectively advocate for the change i want to see (#worktag2 lol). but im workshopping it here w my beloved mutuals first as i always do which is kinda shooting myself in the foot given that the devs can probably see that but whatever. my thought is like… i get it. i really do. i get that this place needs to stay afloat and some of that is gonna involve sacrifice or something from everyone involved. but… why would you try to snuff out the things that make this place what it is and just make it like all the other places. why would you not even take into account how the changes are going to impact EXISTING users who are loyal even if they don’t pay. people aren’t going to come to tumblr for more tiktok and instagram. they’re going to come here for tumblr. for the anonymity and the customization and whatever. so like i just don’t get it. why is the solution to this problem to experiment with changes **that existing users won’t like** and not to listen to what existing users want and do more of it bc other ppl likely will want that too.

#purrs #idk my thoughts aren’t organized and i have a stomachache so im not thinking clearly and ik i also was trashing staff earlier and that so ma #many ppl must be sending them hate and shit and i know there are probably better ways to go about things. but it’s like.. i do not feel like #i matter and belong as a long time tumblr user 😃 like why would you say this. it’s kind of like a big fuck you to the people who are here es #especially since there have been experimental features (like polls) ppl here have been wanting to see forever. like why can’t you work WITH #us instead of becoming another soulless algorithm wasteland. it just fucking sucks to feel like we don’t matter and we’re not being listened #to. and i get it like this is an age old story. but it sucks. it really does. #delete later #like idk. it just sucks to see a dev say that. why would it not even matter to you what existing users want and need and think. idk #like instead of removing the ‘it’ to get… why not just… idk. make it easier to get. instead of eliminating the it. you know? #ive been mad abt this all day which is cringe / dumb bc it’s the pikaman sword lady crab blue checkmark ‘hellsite’ and i don’t want to buy i #into the cringe staff blog persona but like. tumblr is a lifeline to me and this is just so upsetting lol

How dare staff be this funny

#i almost want to spend the 8$ #tumblr #tumblr staff #blue checkmark #twitter #crabs

[itsmyturnonthegender]

There is an unauthorised beast in my tumblrs

Put that thing back at the end of settings

Fuck these off too while you're at it

#tumblr #darling #beloathed #i understand that you need money to run a webbed site #but i feel the userbase has expressed quite clearly that the only reason we're here is because we dont want to be asked for money #the crabs and gimmicky things? fantastic. keep those. crab rave forever #the important checkmarks were funny but they get less funny the more you see them #nobody wants minimalist tumblr merch #give us cursed memes and historical tumblr in-jokes #not a single fucking person that didnt immigrate from tiktok wanted tumblr live #blazing is another funny at first thing #maybe consider making that a seasonal weapon for 4/20 #and just nuke post+ already #nobody uses it #admit defeat #to archive #lUwUcien

currently with another phone in my account. I Cotta say, Tumblr seems pretty good, when you can see everything.....

Kinda pissed Tumblr is judging the age of my phone.

@tumblr

#I don't got polls #why #No checkmark #no crabs #rainbow checkmarks #tumblr changes #sad #discrimination #i want cool Tumblr too!!!

[raisinware]

fuck it i brought the tumblr checkmarks lol

#blue checkmark #twitter blue #elon musk #elon twitter #tumblr checkmark #when will these turn into crabs #please i want the crabs beside my name that would be funny

[cosmoshard]

Having a blue checkmark that’s waiting to turn into a crab is like having those animal capsules you stick in a cup with water. Its unclear when the friend will come but its still promised eventually :3

#Wish i could afford one #I want some crabs #tumblr checkmark

[mbat]

i love how tumblr really is trolling on twitter by also having blue checkmarks and you can literally have multiple. and for what? the shits and giggles. its hilarious. fuck twitter i love tumblr

#blue checkmark #my post #also if they turn into crabs. i want that. i miss the crabs :[ #i wish tumblr let the crabs stay

[thesewers]

tumblr staff please stop moving my house around while im sleeping

#who fuckin asked for the profile button to be up there! #no one asked for the shop button to replace it ands thats so scummy #no one wants your shit so bad that you literally have to Trick them and force it in there face for them to look at it #its so very wrong to be all 'told you so' absolutely. BUT ALSO #of course this what your crab and checkmark money is going towards #tumblr becomes more tiktokish every day im so sick of it #i miss the old dashboards #kazooie sounds

[ajarofpickledtears]

staff brings tumblr live or whatever: users pissed or completely missing it

staff adding "and/or bot" to the "report spam" option: cheering, applause, people are crying with happiness-

#cylas speaks #tumblr users are simple #we just wants crabs and bells and checkmarks we can inflict on others

[the-fox-populi-says]

...ok what's with the fucking center outlining all of a sudden

#I want my outline the LEFT everything looks like an attempt at a poem now #Goddammit #Tumblr #Always going one step forward two steps back #Crabs shoelaces and useless checkmarks are great but now we got the video bullshit and this outline nonsense #Only good news is that this seems to be mobile only so far

[professor-glasses]

people who complain when Tumblr tries to do literally anything. people who cannot comprehend a joke

#this is about someone getting pissed at the checkmarks thing btw #and someone being like Tumblr wants to be twitter so bad... #do you have literally any comprehension at all. #'every single idea Tumblrs had has been cringe and awful' #ok buddy. just don't buy it if you don't like it. nobody's forcing you #don't like jokes don't like fun. website needs to run #selling crabs and fake verification as a joke seems like a pretty benign way to do it #do you piss your pants every time you see a shop selling a silly little knickknack? because they cost a couple bucks? #a couple bucks that nobody is forcing you to pay?

[spellshite]

what if I got the tumblr very important blue checkmark that could turn into crabs anytime?

i wasn't interested but... y'know... it's for Crab Reasons.

#shitpost #tumblr checkmark #i want to see the crabs honestly
