Not Quite Sure If I Will Stick To Tumblr As My Main Social Media, Simply Because Whatever Algorithm Controlling

not quite sure if i will stick to tumblr as my main social media, simply because whatever algorithm controlling the "for you" part of my dash sucks big time.

i stopped being interested in horny ftm posts weeks ago and have since clicked "not interested in this post" on every single one of them. i still get horny ftm posts.

i liked ONE (1) gravity falls related post because it was funny and immediately got several gravity falls posts. i have never watched gravity falls.

i keep getting showed posts i already told tumblr i'm not interested in

i keep getting showed fandoms i already told tumblr i'm not interested in

it is simply an awful experience to scroll for more than two minutes, but hey, maybe it's just because it is social media.

wikipedia rabbit hole that gets progressively less connected with your initial topic of research as it gets more and more interesting are the best rabbit holes

i once had to write a few pages on frogs and ended up finding out about the U-Verlagerung (Untertage-Verlagerung), which was the term for Nazis moving as many of their key (and especially essential for the war) industrial production sites underground. they came up with this because the Allies badly damaged a research center (Peenemünde) that was developing a ballistic rocket.

which i find incredibly interesting since i never heard anywhere else that Nazis were re-using train tunnels to move parts of their arms industry underground.

(also while looking up the article again to make sure i dont make shit up i found myself in another rabbit hole that led to finding out that the rocket they were building in Peenemünde was the first man-made object in space)

going down a wikipedia rabbit hole. went from satanic panic to order of the occult hand to rare genetic disorders. as all good things should be

hope i am not just a mutual to you but also a stray you’d pick up off the street

also stop telling yourself "if i just scroll a bit more, i'll find something interesting, something that makes all the scrolling worth it", you've been telling yourself that for the past minutes, days, weeks, months.

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN

are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,

YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE

you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!

Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!
