tumblr citizenship test (uquiz)

Once again, Tumblr manages to succeed via just being honest with their users.

I made a post back around April fool's about the crabs being so popular because the joke was that every other website tries to trick you into clicking things so they can make money from your clicks and what if instead a website just asked "please click this revenue generating crab. It is there to generate revenue. In return you will have clicked on a crab. Nothing more." And the answer to that question was "people will frantically click on that crab. They don't hate the idea of the website getting money, they hate the idea of being profited on against their will".

So Tumblr implemented actual revenue crabs. "For this much money you can fill your or someone else's dash with virtual crabs. This will have the effect of there being crabs on their screen."

And people will buy those crabs. Because yes you're spending money on something stupid and useless but it's being sold to you as "hey you want something stupid and useless?", which is a nice change of pace from every other site trying to make itself out to be something more than what it is.

Twitter is floundering with the checkmark system because it's being sold as "confirm that you are someone important and who you say you are is true", which it isn't at all right now because anyone can buy one. You're buying a useless checkmark that only says that YOU think you're important. Or, more often than not right now, you are intending to trick other people into thinking you're someone you're not.

Meanwhile, Tumblr just said "Consider this double check mark. It does nothing. You will be marking yourself as someone who paid money for a meaningless checkmark and sometimes it will randomly turn into a bunch of crabs, making the site harder to use". And the userbase is like "Well sure, that sounds delightful."

The point is, despite what all the marketing and advertising people have tried to say, painting trash gold and trying to pass it off as something better is almost never as effective as just saying "hey you want this trash?"

Why yes, in fact, I do.

Howdy newbies and welcome to Tumblr, it takes a bit of setup to get this site running well so here’s what works for me. One of the neat things about this site is that its a different experience for everyone, so tailor these settings towards what you want from this site.

i like that side of tumblr that takes their little porcelain clowns outside with them and takes photos :o)

This child who came to my house tonight is literally the funniest human being on the planet. She complimented me on having both lollipops and mini Three Musketeers available because "a lot of houses these days don't give you a fruit flavor option." She was very solemn about this.

Apparently there is an adhd creature. I love it so much.

I love autism dog

TBH has a symbiotic relationship with the amongus bean. The TBH gets rid of a parasite, and the amongi get a nice snack.

Every autistic person gets assigned a tbh creature. You can pet it for stimming, send it hunting for special interest related items, or look at it. It is a creature.

you heard him.

helpful guidelines for twitter users who are new to tumblr (but like for real)

there's no "ratio" here, it's kung pow penis or nothing

they're mutuals, not "moots" + specifying "oomfs" defeats the entire point of vagueing

the only thing staff cares about is turning this website into a clone of more profitable social media websites. even if you try to defend their bullshit they're not going to fuck you

occasionally staff will take death threats and suicide baiting seriously, but they're usually too busy shadowbanning lesbian bloggers and flagging queer SFW art to care

if you censor words (whether via l33tsp34k or using asterisks) you WILL be laughed at, we don't do that here

there is no algorithm, every single post on your dash (feed) is either from one of the people you follow or based on posts that YOU interacted with, if you see something you don't like there's no one to blame but yourself

both the person you reblog from and the OP of the post can see any tags you leave on said post

only the celebrities that stay in their lane (like neil gaiman) get to stick around. if they don't pass the vibe check, we can and will chase them off of tumblr

tumblr has a very, very long memory. if you fuck up bigtime and wind up hurting people, your url will be passed around for decades to come and you will always be remembered for said fuck up(s)

you know that black mirror episode 'nosedive'? we are the prisoners at the very end, left in jail to rot but somehow the most free we've ever been in our lives

nobody wants to listen to you self-flagellate about how privileged and pathetic you are

it's pretty safe to assume that the prettier and more aesthetically pleasing someone's blog is, the more vicious and vindictive they will be towards you if you piss them off

you can block anon hate but you'll still see a copy of whatever anons you received in your notifications

don't feed the trolls
