If you hate TMI about personal life in reviews, you must hate tumblr.

ayrt

Yeah. People post so much TMI about their life that I get uncomfortable. People can use their journals for whatever they want and that's cool, but the only way I could stand using the site was to block all text posts.

But I'm also a fairly private and the type of person who gets uncomfortable when someone I barely know in real life shares unasked for personal details and life stories with me, so it's definitely a personal preference.

I never see that kind of stuff on tumblr, but that's because I only follow people who aren't bullshit narcissists. My dashboard is lovely and wank-free probably 90-95%of the time.

Posting about your life doesn't automatically equal narcissism and wank.

Re: Fic Recs

But eliminating all of it from anything I have to see guarantees zero instances of narcissism and wank. I don't personally feel like I'm missing out on anything by not seeing the life posts that aren't narcissistic or wanky. That is how I prefer to tumblr.

Everyone with sense hates tumblr and is only using it to look at the pretty.

Okay, we get it. It's "cool" to hate tumblr. Stop bringing posting about how awful people are for using or liking it whenever it's mentioned.

Re: Fic Recs

[(Anonymous)]

No one's awful for using it.

Re: Fic Recs

A lot of people seem to think that though.

Re: Fic Recs

A lot of people who use tumblr seem to assume that's what is meant.
