#I don’t honestly believe there’s a site that ISN’T getting scraped by ai and data mining these days

The thing about tumblr is that there’s a panic about how the site is dying and falling apart literally every other week so eventually if you’ve been here long enough you just get zen about it. Like if anything specific is your breaking point do whatever you want but personally they’re gonna have to pry me out of the vents like a feral raccoon before I leave. Anyway if you’re new here and you see people talk about how something is the end of tumblr and you’re afraid they’re correct I just want you to know I’ve been here through probably like 300 ends of tumblr. I’m not saying it will never happen for real but statistically I remain skeptical.

#this is about the midjourney deal thing but #if it breaks containment and starts circulating every time smth happens I’m gonna laugh #anyway: yeah sure it’s scummy on tumblr’s part. but like. #I don’t honestly believe there’s a site that ISN’T getting scraped by ai and data mining these days #so what are you even really losing #yeah yeah I toggled off the data sharing whatever #it’s just not nearly the scummiest thing tumblr has done #and not even close to the scummiest thing a major social media platform has done #so people seeing people be like ‘WELL I’M LEAVING OVER THIS’ #I’m just like. lol okay.
