If y’all want to know why Tumblr doesn’t purge bots, porn spam blogs, and pedophiles, just look at what happened to Twitter when they did it. It’s all about money.
Activity, any activity, boosts investor interest. Bots cause traffic, intests investors, brings in money. They don’t give a shit where it comes from, they just want the money.
Remember, the users aren’t the customers of social media sites, investors are, we’re the product to sell.
Welcome back to Tumblr. Would you like some discourse? Or a funny picture?
Or maybe you want… me?
I want a Triple Baconator, large fries, 2 chocolate chunk cookies, a large orange Hi-C, and one small vanilla frosty.
Alright that’s a Triple Baconator, one large fry, two cookie, a large Pepsi, and… oh, I’m sorry, but our frosty machine is broken. Would you like anything else or will that complete your order?
I said I wanted a Large Orange Hi-C.
Alright, so that’s a Triple Baconator, two large fries, a cookie, a large Pepsi, a large Hi-C, and no frosty. Will that complete your order?
Yes, it will. Thank you.
I’m pulling up to the first window now.

hey, you had the uh, two steak quesaritos, one cheesy potato griller, and a large baja blast?
