wtf, Tumblr?

[ratcreature]

Why is there a stupid confetti animation disrupting my dashboard? I guess it is because it's Tumblr's tenth anniversary?

I suppose it is totally in the site's spirit to make themselves even more unusable as celebration.

I was totally fine with it when it just did it once and then quit, which is what happened last night. Okay, sure, anniversary, confetti is cool, etc. But now it WON'T STOP. I'm getting showered with confetti every time I reload the page, look up a new tag, or go back a page (I don't have infinite scroll enabled). Enough with the confetti already!

[ratcreature]

Yeah. Same for me. The first time I didn't care. I mean I didn't realize then it was an anniversary thing, but was "whatever". But now it definitely overstayed its welcome.

It's a major vertigo trigger for me, so thanks, Tumblr! I can't make adblock catch it and thus I have to load a page, go away, and come back later when it's done. I hope it goes the fuck away soon.

[ratcreature]

Me too. I mean it doesn't cause me anything worse than being annoyed by confetti, but that's plenty.

Apparently most people use an add-on that blocks them from seeing the "There is confetti because Tumblr turns 10!" post. So the outcry of TUMBLR, WHYYYYY has been so loud that even I, who will not tumbl, am hearing it. :D

Well, you have to use add-ons to block all the crap or Tumblr is unusable in much worse ways than just confetti animations messing up your dash. And my guess was their anniversary even without seeing a post, only did that not make me ore receptive. They should have kept it confined to their post.
