I think the real problem here is that big media corporations seem to believe that social media userbases are fungible, and persist in acting on this belief no matter how many times it’s demonstrated to be wrong.

There’s a specific pattern of events that plays out over and over (and over) again, and it looks something like this:

1. Social media platform becomes popular

2. Social media platform is purchased by big media corporation in order to gain access to it large user base

3. Big media corporation realises that social media platform’s demographics are not the demographics they want to sell things to.

4. Big media corporation institutes measures to drive away “undesirable” users, apparently in the honest belief that the outgoing users will automatically be replaced by an equal number of new, more demographically desirable users

5. This does not, in fact, occur

6. Social media platform crashes and burns

You’d think that, by the sheer law of averages, at least one person who’s capable of learning from experience would become involved in this whole process at some point.

The media execs fail their math. Specifically, they fail the network theory.

They look at the numbers, like Tumblr’s where only 1% of the users make 99% of the explicit content, if I remember a recent study right. So, why don’t we lose that 1% and live happily ever after? - an exec says.

Because! The networks on social media are decentralized, and the 1% are the key nodes:

Those local nodes are load-bearing, like the cornerstones of a building. Remove them, and the network falls apart and dies.

Soundwave has that image on his wall, because he’s competent:

I can’t believe this post went from explaining the history of social media, to using math to explain it… to a link to a light bondage Transformers fic.

This is, ironically, very evident when using Tumblr’s own built-in Labs feature called “Reblog Graphs,” which shows the path posts take as they’re shared. 

Here’s how this post has spread via major users:

It really is hilarious how nobody at tumblr (literally) connects the dots, especially given that they’ve made the relevant tool easily available to its own users.

[ghoulnextdoor]

I remember falling wildly in love with this photo set of the ‘Angelic Host’ mask by Phillip Valdez and posting it on my tumblr back in 2016– and now I see that this mask might make an appearance in a second season of The OA (also–holy carps, a second season of The OA!)

I love that they tried to make the transformers movies those action packed blockbusters that lack any kind of emotion except anger to appeal to teenage boys who obviously don‘t want that in their movies

and they get reviews like:

And then Travis Knight comes around with a movie reminicient of the heart and charm of the g1 cartoon that fans had wanted for years

and the reviews go:

Bee you‘re doing amazing sweety!
