It really is creepy how it's all turning into a religion with AI and algorithms as cryptic intangible deities. Please them and they'll reward you. Anger them and they'll curse you. The youtube cult is priests presenting paintings of red arrows and circles to their god while followers chant "for the algorithm!" "first!" in the comments. The priests ends each sermon by telling the true believers to sign a book and ring a bell icon. Why? Because they believe the algorithm likes it.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
