shacklefunk:

this website is such a miserable hole in the ground. like most of us are using such a heavily modified version of it (via xkit and other extensions) that its nowhere near what its intended to be, and bc yahoo keeps getting more and more shitty and invasive w their attempts to make money off of this site we just keep going to further and further extremes to modify it

and bots are such a fucking problem rn too, like they dominate every single even remotely popular tag and tumblr doesnt care 2 do anything abt it bc the bots r technically traffic, so its this weird infinite feedback loop

and now we have autoplay advertisements which is such a monumentally horrible idea that it is just. genuinely offensive and hilarious. like we’ve berated EACH OTHER for having autoplay on our own blogs for years, and now its fully evolved into an actual permanent feature on the website. now, in stead of having darude sandstorm shat into your ear canals when you visit some shitheads blog, ur gonna get some random product advertised to you every single time u so much as open ye olde tumblr to have a quick gander at the latest Discourse

fuckign. this website is so bad, we’ve just all adapted to how bad it is by force. actual tumblr is so wildly out of touch with its userbase that it cannot manage to make a remotely usable blogging platform by itself, and so, by some miracle, the userbase itself finds new and creative ways to modify the site to make it anywhere near tolerable

amazing
