tumblr has been very weak on memes the past few weeks. where are our new memes? why is meme production so far behind?
It’s because school has started! Class time takes valuable time away from shitposting, which is why meme production always increases in May/June and stays consistent throughout the summer, then decreases around August. It’s just market fluctuations, there’s no cause for concern.
(slams palms on table) PRIVATIZED EDUCATION AND COMPULSORY COLLEGE HAS SPIRALED US INTO MEME RECESSION
In about four days of existing this post has gained more notes than I have followers. There have been some pretty interesting tags and comments so far:
My favorite thing, though, is people including the names of their stuffed animals:
-“There have been no updates. The site has always been like this.” The new staff post says. You agree, but something feels off.
-“These posts are gonna look weird when the format changes back,” you say, though you do not know why. Later, you receive an email. Your account has been deleted.
-You cry for the xkit guy to save you. “You know what you did to the xkit guy!” They scream. You stare at your bloody hands. You know what you did to the xkit guy.
-There’s another meme. You chuckle as the same picture of a glass shard in a toilet bowl shows up on your dash. You don’t get it. You reblog it anyway.
-“If it’s good enough for me, it’s good enough for queue.” Something screams, and leaps out of your computer. This always happens, at the scheduled times.
-“We’re always willing to listen to our users!” Staff says. It is a lie. Your friend sends them a message and disappears.
-You look in your purse. There are breadsticks there. You do not remember grabbing them.
-It’s Halloween again. It’s been Halloween as long as you can remember. The skeleton that runs past your house at exactly 4:39 PM every day waves at you. You wave back.
This is likely to be buggy and imperfect, and is definitely not totally optimized, but it is at least a start at fixing the atrocity that is the new reblog structure.
Your posts will look something like this:
