why do ppl try to greentext on tumblr

it’s just become ingrained in social media in recent years

people do it on facebook, people do it on youtube, people do it on twitter, etc

it’s less about the text being green now, it’s used everywhere online because people just seem to be so used to it to get points across

The specific manner in which greentext stories were related has pretty much solidified “>” as being associated with a particular form of syntax. It’s like how typing without punctuation or capitalization now carries an implicit mood or meaning.

>is a tumblr blogger
>sees someone complaining about use of greentext
>sees someone else point out why the style of greentext affexcts the tone and emotion of a post
>“nice”
