One of the reasons I feel so comfortable using Tumblr over other social media is because this site is clearly too incompetent to be evil.

The basic business model of a social network is to harvest commercially valuable personal data and sell it, most famously via targeted ads. Anyone visiting my blog can clearly see that I am a queer furry who’s into video games and art. And yet I am only served ads for funeral homes, Bible story DVDs, and the current president’s reelection campaign (in 2018 for some reason)

Needless to say my click through rate has not been very good

Me: Runs a blog dedicated to dungeons and dragons and anime
Tumblr: You know what, you strike me as a sporty type

I’m a social media manager for my day job and Tumblr is literally the only social media platform I can relax on anymore because it’s so incompetent when it comes to exploiting my personal data.

me: i’m a gay house husband who spends hundreds of dollars on yarn and will buy literally anything with bears on it

tumblr: obviously you are a young woman who needs clubwear!

me: well,,,, no

tumblr: game of thrones merchandise!

me: come on guys, i’m easy mode, you can do it. housewares. yarn. bears. sassy gay rainbow everything.

tumblr: oh! you want naked women!

me:
