Me: *trying to sign up for a website*

Website: Oopsie! That password doesn't conform to our standards! You need to use a capital letter somewhere! :D :D :D

Me: WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE?!?!

Today in the Horrors of the iOS Tumblr App, I present you:

The thrilling feature of stupid fucking video ads auto playing WITH THE FUCKING SOUND ON even though by default I have turned off ALL autoplay features including gifs because all that moving shit on my phone is fucking annoying. Not only, does the fucking sound starts but. Because I stream Spotify to my laptop speakers all work day, my phone is connected to my laptop via AirPlay or whatever. Guess what happens.

I’ll tell you what fucking happens: the sound of the stupid ad video INTERRUPTS MY MUSIC and!!!! The fucking video hijacks my laptop screen whilst auto playing, blocking, you know, what I am actually working on! So I have to hit escape on my laptop to banish the bullshit video. But! It gets even more amazing!!! Hitting escape to silence the video effectively disconnects the AirPlay connection from my phone, meaning I can’t just resume listening to my jams, I now have to manually reconnect AirPlay in Spotify.

Now I have to ask: how tf is this a feature? Do you really think hijacking my devices with your shitty ads is gonna make me want to click on that garbage. I really wish I was the fly on the wall for that particular project management meeting. I really want to hear the genius idea behind such an ILL CONCEIVED USER EXPERIENCE. Are all your project managers sociopaths or just tragically stupid?!

I mean my solution at this point is to never scroll through Tumblr while connected to my laptop, so congratulations I guess, for making me want to visit this hellsite LESS?!

Anyone else accidentally hitting that stupid live button all the time because of its position?

I’m never ever in a million years going to use the Fucking thing but it’s so ridiculously invasive it’s a constant frustration!

The new Reddit UI looks like fucking dogshit.

Didn't understand the outrage over the new discord UI but I just removed someone's reaction from my post (there was a singular x on the upper right corner) and I cannot undo it.

Fuck this

Please for the love of God, stop this shit. I hate how apps are starting to clutter up the space above the toolbar and these floating buttons are just an annoyance and a distraction and literally cover up content. Stop trying to make tumblr live happen and put my post button back where it belongs!
