Pre-Obama, pre-Tumblarity Tumblr

davereed:

• You either reblogged something or you didn’t. No Like, no gray areas.
• Muxtape! Everyone had one, then the RIAA had to shut it down.
• The big mystery then was how to get listed on the Tumblr Radar.
• baconbaconbacon was huge.
• There was no fuckyeah for everything under the sun, only fuckyeahsharks.
• noahkai became notorious for his reblog bukkake.
• Y so srs? Remember when Jokerizing stuff was new?
• Obama and Palin porn
• The Dark Knight and the hype that accompanied it
• Ben Folds!
• MGMT!
• Less than 20 people participated in GPOYW.
• Characters like stupidinboston and saintnate polarized people.
• The Twitter Fail Whale!
• Threadless t-shirts
• No one, save for a handful of Tumblrs, knew what Skins, Flight of the Conchords, and The Mighty Boosh were all about.
• Everyone created their own Face Your Manga avatar the moment someone posted about it.
• Memes involved making a mosaic using your flickr or your story using iTunes.
• People actually read posts.

Why Tumblarity is bullshit:

lookfindfree:

silentsigh:

It seems to be encouraging people to post cookie-cutter nonsense that will rack up “likes” and “reblogs”. You know what? I couldn’t care less about the latest hip product or artsy moleskine notebook. I don’t give a damn about art that a dozen people have already posted or talked about in the last week. And I certainly don’t care one iota about the latest “it” movie that I am probably already planning on seeing myself.

What I do care about is substance. I want to know who you are. I want to know what you like, and not what you think everyone else might like. Fuck numbers and popularity. I want to know about what makes you smile or what makes you tick. I want to see humanity, minus the walls that so many tend to put up. It might not get you more followers, but do you really want a bunch of boring “individuals” keeping up with your blog? I know that I wouldn’t. I’d rather have a few people with actual personalities following my tumblr than thousands of people who only want to get their numbers up.

Tumblarity

My blog is hosted by tumblr.  So far I haven’t had much reason to dislike it.  However, they have introduced this thing called tumblarity which is basically a popularity contest for all the people who have blogs hosted by tumblr.

I personally think it is a cheap ploy to incentivize people (who care about such idiotic things) to post more.  Methinks Tumlbr is trying to make their stats look better for their investors.  Anyway, it’s complete rubbish and pointless and from what I read on my dashboard it seems like other bloggers agree with this point of view.

well said
