tumblr live update on mobile: it now has the option to snooze the live streams at the top of the dashboard for 30 days, but the video icon for the tumblr live tab in the middle of the footer can’t be disabled at all :/
#BOOOOO WE HATE YOUR COCK !#the logic of the tumblr developers is wow people love to live blog events like concerts and conventions#so we should offer an in-house live streaming tool to keep our userbase all in one place when they do that#the PROBLEM is that you NEED two devices and/or at least two separate programs to liveblog#bc you need to be constantly refreshing your dash & making your own posts on tumblr#while you stream from another platform / device#if you’re watching the stream on tumblr then you can’t actually use tumblr to blog#which makes it useless for its intended purpose !!!#also the average long-term tumblr user stays with the platform bc of its anonymity & text-based features#live-streaming is like. The opposite of that#and even with the understanding that only 5% of people will stream and 95% will exclusively watch (of those that use the feature)#they’ve done nothing to incentivize any streamers with any sort of presence on tumblr to use the service !!#they need to provide a monetary or perks incentive to the top streamers#or else why would literally anyone choose to build a streaming platform on tumblr when they can get monetized on a competitor’s platform#it’s just Bad all around
