Hey everyone this is is a PSA that Tumblr staff and Yahoo WANT to discourage your use of Tumblr. They want to discourage those users who want proper photo formatting because they want to promote those who upload videos. They are weeding out users who don’t care for the website’s video function. This is a step in their plan to make Tumblr a video-based website to compete against Youtube.

Boycotting/ceasing use of the website will be doing exactly what they want.

Do not stop using Tumblr. Make photo/image content like crazy. Stop uploading/watching videos. Sign this petition. Keep emailing the staff.

Be active.

This seems so true, though.  Why should staff and Yahoo care if users protest for photo format? I personally don’t believe that they’re “weeding out” users for boycotting, but I do think that they’re trying to promote video. They said themselves that they’re planning to become more “video-centric” [x]. Instead of boycotting tumblr altogether, shouldn’t we be showing them that we don’t want to be centered around video? Like hailthemxdking said, they want to promote those who are uploading videos. This is why we should stop uploading and watching them.
