I know that we here on tumblr have had our posts stolen and rewritten by many a twitter user, and that they speak of of tumblr as a hellsite (derogatory) when it is really a hellsite (affectionate)
But now that Elon owns twitter, we must welcome new and returning users with open arms.
Every twitter user converted is one step closer to Elon Musk pulling a yahoo and loosing 99% of Twitters value.
Tumblr’s Twitter account wasn’t banned with the others because only accounts that promote social medias get banned, and what Staff is doing over there is the equivalent of showing someone a used car and telling them that the frame is rusted through, and that it only comes with three tires.
Shadow leaving a note for Tails in case someone asks him his favorite flower because he couldn't be there at the Takeover, he really wanted to infodump about his interests (or he assumed someone might have asked about his favorite flower for reasons but who can tell)
Thinking about Tails being a gossip from the twitter takeover. Like. He's the type of kid to come home from school and start talking to Amy about what beef Tyler had with Jamie and Braydon at the swings that day.
The funniest parts about Tumblr, Reddit, and Twitter all collapsing is they all had to undo ONE decision, and it would've prevented it all.
If Tumblr had gone back, or even just lessened, its porn ban. It could still be in the top 10 sites, worldwide.
If Reddit had reversed its API decision, it wouldn't be struggling with a volatile, unsellable user base.
If Twitter had just not changed ANYTHING. If Musk had just LEFT THE SITE ALONE, it would've begun pulling a profit within a few years, and would've been bringing in enough revenue to keep the site alive until then.
But that didn't happen. These sites were making power hungry moves and chasing the money of advertisers to make up for it. However, each one of them forgot one very important thing:
A sanitized, unpopular website upsets it previous users. Upset users flee a site, leaving angry, volatile individuals behind. Angry, volatile users aren't marketable. Without marketable users, the site has no marketable value. And without marketable value, no advertisers are gonna give you money.
