The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes
#ohhh godddd#yes this#text#one of the biggest draws of this platform for me has always been its lack of transparency#shall we say#that shutter or veil between you and your followers#that no other site it seems deems worthy of implementing#i have never thought it necessary for nor have i wanted everyone to know#how many people follow me how many i follow my numbers in general etc#it simply isn't relevant... and i'm a very private person#but the above kind of whiplash inducing reality slap is an inevitable biproduct of that lack of transparency#i wouldn't change it... but it can be A Lot#///me#shut up marty#***#marty's tag waffles
