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.

Don't phrase reasonable expectations as an old person trait, or you're essentially saying it's hip to get bent over for the profit of others.

Not to be rude here, but that's the whole point.

It humorusly points out how things should be, and intentionally mis-attributes it to an "old person trait", to suggest that it wasn't always like this. You can read between the lines that the dark patterns are most likely motivated by greed.
