Ugh tumblr’s mobile app has always been pretty horrendous. However, it had one redeeming feature. It alphabetically sorted the blogs I follow so I could very easily manually scroll my favorite blogs. Which was helpful because for some reason putting certain blogs into the tumblr search bar on the PC doesn’t work, so I need to find their name to click on elsewhere. Just looking on my phone for those couple of blogs was actually easier.
Then … THEN tumblr decided this was clearly too good and so removed that feature in the recent update. Why? Just why? So this morning I’m looking on the app, I see a mutual pop up in my feed and decide to look at their whole blog. Big, big mistake. I have no idea if they will have been spammed with “still-searching47 is now following you” as I clicked and unfollowed (seriously why put that link there??? it’s right next to their name!) and then panic followed with frantic tapping.
I have to say stupid o’clock or not, it made me instantly get out of bed to boot the PC, so I could triple check I’m still following them because stupid mobile app! Honestly I just wanted to make sure I hadn’t missed any of their posts. Why tumblr, just why?
