and yknow tbh with how this site is it shouldnt even be 13+ in the first place. even if all porn is purged from the site this is still not the best place for anyone under 15-16 to be honestly
a really good genre of tumblr post is the ones that claim “THIS 15-YEAR-OLD HAS DISCOVERED A CURE FOR CANCER” with no source link, and the first comment is “HIS NAME IS _______” and the second comment is “figures that so few results come up on google, no one is talking about this. spread the word!”
and then you google it and the only results are websites called like ‘youshare.buzz’ and ‘trendcatch.ly’ linking back to the original post, and the picture attached to the original post is from an unrelated huffpo article from 2011, and you google the name given and it’s a famous haitian accordionist
Anyway the last point I have to make here is that even if tumblr breaks under the algorithm (almost certain if they don’t back out of using it) and/or everybody leaves… I don’t have anywhere else to go or post things
people like to joke about it being bad, but I legitimately really like Tumblr. it actually feels like a blogging platform in a world where facebook and twitter are active political weapons that manipulate us elections. i don’t feel like i’m baring myself to content i don’t want to see here, or having to engage with a popularity-focused culture. the content isn’t sorted to influence you or trick you. it’s a bunch of people being themselves on their own terms. it’s oldnet.
yes, i do use other websites, but i’m not interested in posting personal things to any of them. this was a place i had control over and i’ll stay with it until i can’t. and when that happens there’ll be nothing left.
