Whenever my tumblarity drops down passed 1,000, I feel like I am doing something wrong.  Is the mission for tumblarity to make me feel guilty? 

I think this system sucks for many reasons, but mostly because I feel like it’s going to cause people to just post a ton of shit (*ahem, twitter, *ahem) opposed to offering quality content and gaining a base of followers over time; basically what we’ve always done here.  It could very possibly turn our entire community into a Twitter-esque environment.  And that would suck, bad.

It’s the same concept as this megapixel war going on in the digital camera community.  Companies are striving to make the highest megapixel readout, when it is hardly relevant to anything else in the camera.  What this means is that companies like Nikon and Canon can slack in other areas and nobody will give a fuck because it shoots photos at a high resolution.  New Tumblr users will do the same thing. They’ll take a single look at this tumblarity nonsense and try to get it as high as they possibly can; more than likely by posting irrelevant shit that nobody cares about (*ahem, twitter, *ahem).  That number doesn’t mean fucking anything, but for some reason, it sits there and mocks me.

Revert, Tumblr!  This is the only thing you’ve ever done that I’ve ever been 100% against.  I don’t mean to bitch.  This is a free platform and you can control it as you wish, but the users here are what’s important.  Without us, Tumblr would just be a prettier version of Xanga or LiveJournal.  I haven’t heard a single testimony for this Tumblarity shit.  Kill it.  Please.

Now everybody like this so my Tumblarity goes up. =P  Just kidding.

But seriously.  Do it. =D
