while i appreciate the general response nobody has yet really understood why i like these kind of posts so much. It's not even necessarily what they are saying in detail what's interesting to me - more the fact that they exist and that they are popular.

Like I have yet to see another social media where one of the main genre of posts is about the nature of the site itself.

Like, imagine a bunch of people on insta just posting things like:

"haha instagram ruined my picture quality again haha you get this nowhere else this is so special i love it here #hellsite "

it just doesn't happen. it's such a tumblr specific experience to connect through the sole fact that we are all using the same website and making funny little posts about it. you don't get this anywhere else.
