Comment on Tumblr is reportedly on life support as its latest owner reassigns staff

Yeah, same. It’s like they think unique identities is bad.

It’s about aiming for the lowest common denomninator to maximize user number and engagement. Autoplaying short vids in a feed that you didn’t curate - all things optimized to trick your monkey brain for one more scroll or one more click. Works on everybody from children to elderly.

Except in Tumblr’s case, no one goes to tumblr to watch videos on the first place, and the way they have it set up is awful
