Apollo’s Dad Has Had It, Officially

When I identify I am “not interested in this blog” @tumblr seems to say “oh really, you sure, here’s more just like that one.” I pause to read something and you seem to think that post represents my entire personality and you choke out all other content .

The ads are absolute garbage, enough so, that I hard close the app, immediately. If I, swiping, why are you stopping? It’s not enduring me to your products/services/abusive messaging.

Speaking of, @tumblr , if I report an ad as offensive, at the very least, feed me a new mundane stream of ads. Misogynistic video games, abusive and manipulative patriarchal institutions, and disgusting or violent ads are a no go. You block content of legit users I follow and want to view and the you force feed content to me I don’t want to see because it reminds me of the abuse I experienced as a child. Make that make sense.

I understand that revenue pays the bills. Advertisements are a necessary evil. You know the content I like and engage with and yet you continue to try to feed me subject matter I tell you to block over and over again. Fix you algorithms. You could have me in the palm of your hand!

I want cake, you give me broccoli.

I want peace and serenity, you give me nightmares

I want cuties, you give me bullies.

I deleted my legacy social media accounts. Not just the apps, but my content and my accounts. I went with the nuclear option. @Tumblr, you don’t have to be this way. Be that nice little treat we all need and want while we suffer through this reality.
