Jon risinger smokes pot, i just know it and nothing he says will convince me otherwise. He was raised in Cali!! He wanted to rebel against his parents!! Of course he’s a pot head sometimes!!!
If various companies think that pulling their content from Netflix so they can host their own streaming service will make them sign up to theirs then they are wrong. It will just make me pirate their content again.
A former staff engineer, who recently left Tumblr and asked to remain
anonymous for professional reasons, tells Vox that the NSFW ban was “in
the works for about six months as an official project,” adding that it
was given additional resources and named “Project X” in September,
shortly before it was announced to the rest of the company at an
all-hands meeting. “[The NSFW ban] was going to happen anyway,” the
former engineer told me. “Verizon pushed it out the door after the child
pornography thing and made the deadline sooner,” but the real problem
was always that Verizon couldn’t sell ads next to porn.
Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to
make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the
platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just
before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure
out how to better monetize.
On that note-
Two former Tumblr employees said they were alarmed when Khalaf chose
Black Lives Matter as an example of a community that the company should
focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge,
“Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to
[make] a ton of money.”
Capitalism is disgusting and ruins everything.
We all need to leave this hellsite
Like leaving aside the evils of capitalism etc etc these people are idiots and bad at being capitalists in the first place like??? they have no idea these audiences they want to monetize can smell the inauthenticity immediately like … You’re not gonna monetize the socialists, Tumblr, either let it go or figure out a way to monetize charity and generosity I guess ALSO you want money, sex workers need money … please seek your own level and direct your efforts to monetizing something that is actually monetizable helloooooooooo ROBBER BARONS WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU you’re not even diabolical, just greedy stupid and mean 🙄🙄
the reason I like tumblr is because it’s so easy not to be found here. I don’t have to worry about people from real life being able to find me bc I can hide my blog from search engine results. I can be openly gay here and have a little space to myself to explore my interests and stuff. Social media has always made me really anxious as I’m a naturally reserved person. I’m reluctant to use such widely used sites like Instagram and twitter because I don’t want my family or friends I’m not too close to find me on there ! And also why the fuck do twitter and Instagram make your following and likes public
exactly like these sites DEMAND access to your contacts and phone number and even when you say no they still recommend you to other people based on your phone number and real life proximity to other users. That’s so fucking creepy. I do so miss the old days of the internet where everything wasn’t so connected to your day to day life.
