oh, weird, i just got five messages all in a row at 2pm on sept 2nd, so. sorry i didn’t see this.
It wasn’t my idea so I’m not sure what the original intention was. I figured all Tumblr cares about are page views, so I just closed the browser window, closed it on my phone too (I don’t use the app), and stayed off the site for the 24 hours. My queue posted one post during that time.
If there are going to be future boycotts it might be good for the organizers to explain what exactly they mean. I don’t know what kind of metrics Tumblr uses at all; I have adblock stuff installed so it’s not like their advertisers get hits from me anyway. But I figure, site traffic was the key thing, so I just– total abstinenced the entire site.
But how different people implemented it surely was different, and I’d love to see some kind of postmortem on that… I just don’t know if anyone that analytically gifted was actually paying attention. I don’t know how you’d even judge.
