Commercialized Commune Tumblr

[unspeakablehorror]

I think I've identified what it is about Tumblr that gives it its distinctive atmosphere (for better AND worse).  It's like if someone took one of those hippie communes where no one has locks on their doors, but got millions of people to join it, then attempted (extremely badly) to commercialize it to a ridiculous degree.

Like, you get exposure to people and discussions you would never otherwise encounter, but the nature of the discussions taking place in a constant performance atmosphere and in a society with little to no understanding of the concept of boundaries does twist that discussion in some truly horrific ways.
