#pinterest is really the only algorithm based site i support even conceptually#actually now that im thinking about it the reason the way tumblr is going about updating this website sucks#is because theyre trying too hard to emulate twitter but tumblr and twitter are fundamentally different website genres#whereas pinterest is the only current Well Known analogue to tumblr#like. this is very much a Multi Media Blogging Platform with an undeniable and historic focus on visual media#twitter on the other hand is Thee Text Based Blogging Platform and has also been like. legitimized in the eyes of#the non-chronically online public.#i think there are plenty of ways they could more effectively monetize this website without so .... crudely altering the very essence of like#this websites spot in the web 2.0 canon.#i think discounting this websites foundational relationship to visual media - and by extension creativity focused communities -#is only going to alienate your userbase and create a contentious relationship between developer and user#and really what could elevate this websites foot traffic and therefore ad revenue#would be to differentiate itself as the Big Social Media Platform where the developers arent seen as like. evil overlords#like that is the hole in the internet that needs to be filled#if you read this entire essay in the tags ... girl why#anyhow#honestly?#staff#should hire me.
