One of the best things about Tumblr, imo, is sometimes you can scroll through the awful content… But you don’t then get it recommended to you.
On tiktok, you see some godawful opinion and you want a further look at what exact kind of crazy they are? Are the being ironic? Is this satire? Oh, no, they actually do think that… Ex. Women should belong to their husbands. Welp, you’re now gonna have tradwife / terf / alt-right / trumpie content on your fyp for weeks because you scrolled that account for a few minutes. You keep pressing ‘not interested’ but tiktok believes you’re a republican now.
Here, you see something crazy - let’s say, uh, Human Pet Guy (rip, example would be before he deactivated obviously).
You see a post of his and you’re like “Woah, wtf, is this satire or is he just like this?” You go to his blog to check and Tumblr does not assume looking at human pet guy’s blog = you want a human pet and does not start bombarding you with human pet content. When you are done trying to understand how someone can think like that you can return to the safety of your dash, which remains unchanged.
Long live the hellsite, please don’t give us weird new algorithms
“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”
no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it
