Musings of an Inappropriate Woman

“ Not that I am painting a picture of some kind of dystopia where nobody will ever work hard and try to do good writing in the old school way, but, well, actually I guess I kind of am, because that dystopia is kind of Tumblr, you know? I think Tumblr as a whole represents something so secretly insidious, because I feel like for a group of urban (or wannabe urban) young creative people who in the past would have been forced to spend the time to really and truly make stuff in order to feel creatively fulfilled, now it is so easy for them to just reblog, recycle, rinse, repeat. „

I’ve thought the same thing. Tumblr is great fun and - even better - a fantastic community, but in terms of reblogs/Tumblarity/other rewards, it really doesn’t encourage users to produce anything substantive.
