1989 Calling
My Princess Bride liveblog went over really well, it seems. At least with katarina-elaine. And she asked me to do another one, so I decided to acquiesce and write on the 1989 Phantom of the Opera starring Robert Englund as Erik Destler. WARNING: snark below. And rantings on feminism, time travel, and the like. Keep reading
If I were to stream the 1989 Phantom film on Tinychat, would anyone like to join me?
This is possibly my favorite version, but definitely one I don’t hear much chatter about in phan circles.

Caitlin hello:) I wanted to ask, what do you think of the phantom film of 1989 with Robert Englund?
getvalentined: An open letter to @staff I already submitted this to Support under “Feedback,” but I’m sharing it here too as I don’t expect it to get a response, and I feel like putting in out in public may be more effective than sending it off into the void. The recent post on the Staff blog about changing tumblr to an algorithmic feed features a large amount of misinformation that I feel staff needs to address, openly and honestly, with information on where this data was sourced at the very least. Claim 1: Algorithms help small creators. This is false, as algorithms are designed to push content that gets engagement in order to get it more engagement, thereby assuring that the popular remain popular and the small remain small except in instances of extreme luck. This can already be seen on the tumblr radar, which is a combination of staff picks (usually the same half-dozen fandoms or niche special interests like Lego photography) which already have a ton of engagement, or posts that are getting enough engagement to hit the radar organically. Tumblr has an algorithm that runs like every other socmed algorithm on the planet, and it will decimate the reach of small creators just like every other platform before it. Claim 2: Only a small portion of users utilize the chronological feed. You can find a poll by user @darkwood-sleddog here that at the time of writing this, sits at over 40 THOUSAND responses showing that over 96 percent of them use the chronological feed. Claiming otherwise isn’t just a misstatement, it’s a lie. You are lying to your core userbase and expecting them to accept it as fact. It’s not just unethical, it’s insulting to people who have been supporting your platform for over a decade. Claim 3: Tumblr is not easy to use. This is also 100% false and you ABSOLUTELY know it. Tumblr is EXTREMELY easy to use, the issue is that the documentation, the explanations of features, and often even the stability of the service is subpar. All of this would be very easy for staff to fix, if they would invest in the creation of walkthroughs and clear explanations of how various site features work, as well as finally fixing the search function. Your inability to explain how your service works should not result in completely ignoring the needs and wants of your core long-term userbase. The fact that you’re more willing to invest in the very systems that have made every other form of social media so horrifically toxic than in trying to make it easier for people to use the service AS IT WORKS NOW and fixing the parts that don’t work as well speaks volumes toward what tumblr staff actually cares about. You will not get a paycheck if your platform becomes defunct, and the thing that makes it special right now is that it is the ONLY large-scale socmed platform on THE ENTIRE INTERNET with a true chronological feed and no aggressive algorithmic content serving. The recent post from staff indicates that you are going to kill that, and are insisting that it’s what we want. It is not. I’d hazard to guess that most of the dev team knows it isn’t what we want, but I assume the money people don’t care. The user base isn’t relevant, just how much money they can bring in. The CEO stated he wanted this to remain as sort of the last bastion of the Old Internet, and yet here we are, watching you declare you intend to burn it to the ground. You can do so much better than this. (via parlezvousladybug)
