A Tumblr Update? Gross!
Apparently my Tumblr got an “update” over night and we hates it my precious. In reblogged posts, I can no longer see who contributed to the conversation. In fact, removing the names of the rebloggers makes it look less like a conversation and more like a multipart announcement. And the name at the top is the person who most recently reblogged, not the originator, so it’s not like this helps ensure credit to the original poster.
Why @staff? What on earth is this supposed to do? The updates are typically not great, but this one is flat out garbage. It doesn’t help us credit originators, it doesn’t help us find other Tumblrs to follow.
This is not user centered design.
