tbh instagram influencers literally just exist to flaunt their wealth, that’s their whole career. they are given money and attention and a platform for no reason but the fact they market themselves as Cool and Rich and we really need to stop letting that slide. they’re out there blogging “let them eat cake” and getting thousands of followers for it. young people! people my age and younger! people who are supposed to change things! why? are we trying to live their glamorous lives vicariously? the american dream is not contagious, its not even real. stop following these people.

Because traditional ways of getting kids to consume media and goods wasn’t working (TV ads, magazines) so now social media algorithms prioritize hollow rich people to distract the kids and make them aspire to do materialistic things and it creates an apathetic generation... we hoped these corporations wouldn’t catch on, but they did. And I OOP.

We’re getting pretty close to having adults who weren’t alive during 9/11, and we really need to admit at this point that the overemphasis on 9/11 in the US is just a propaganda machine to indoctrinate the younger generations into nationalism and to justify all the horrible war crimes the US committed in the Middle East, and the continued mistreatment and distrust towards refugees.

Also remember when we were told that “They” attacked “Us” because they “hated our freedom”? That was some of the most blatant and transparent propaganda that was churned out of 9/11.

and the fact that the “they” has been so vaguely defined has given the us the ability to construe anyone into the “they.” afghanistan, pakistan, iraq, libya, even isis and syria are treated as a single enemy whose defeat is justified in 9/11, even though they had nothing to do with it. and ironically, the government and nation that has the most responsibility for the attacks, saudi arabia, is never scrutinized because of their use to america. what that demonstrates is that “justice” has never been a factor; promoting us interests in the middle east using 9/11 as justification has always been the goal

@staff Not exactly the “welcome back to the app store” you were expecting huh

THIS is the kind of protest that tumblr will care about sooner or later. Leave bad ratings and reviews on apple or in the google play store. Lower their rating so hard that it damages their userbase.

Logging off for a single day isn’t of interest to tumblr. I’m not saying y’all shouldn’t protest in any way you can or want, but logging off the site for just one day isn’t going to bother tumblr because tumblr doesn’t CARE about your symbolic protest. Tumblr has proven time and again that it doesn’t CARE about its userbase. We’re still using the site and we won’t stop using the site any time soon because there’s no alternative. But that’s what we’d have to do to hopefully force tumblr to change anything. And they still won’t do it because their policy change isn’t about family values or what the userbase allegedly wants. It’s about money.

So, unless you stop using the site and app permanently, or for a long period of time, this isn’t going to matter to tumblr. And when you do, you need to do it in big numbers.

Leaving them bad reviews in the apple app store or on google play (where it’ll be harder because the current average rating is 4.4 stars and you need to edit or leave a LOT of bad reviews to drastically lower that), is going to do more to damage their reputation and thus do more to compromise their profit.
