today's Tumblr wtf

[ratcreature]

Why is there an annoying, pixelated, pooping horse on my Tumblr dashboard? It is not even April 1st yet. How can I make it go away? Why is Tumblr doing these things?

Ugh, I'm afraid to go on Tumblr now. /o\

Remember the confetti attack? Was okay once or twice, but got waaaaay annoying when it kept happening every time the dashboard loaded. :b

Well by default this one is sort of minimized and on the side, so less intrusive than the confetti, but still. They should make these opt in or something, like a setting for "I want 'cute' Tumblr crap on my dash yes/no".

It's April 1st here, sorry. At least it's not making me ill like the confetti did, but why do they keep doing this?

[ratcreature]

Yeah, the confetti was worse, but still. They ought to realize that it is annoying when a content platform intrudes with stuff you never signed up for. At least there ought to be a close button to make it go away.

FFS, Tumblr. It doesn't bother me in terms of sensory stuff, but I honestly can't see the point of it.

Yeah it's not the worst but I think they work under a misunderstanding of how amusing it is to have a website do random crap, that inexplicably even lacks a close button to make it go away once you've seen it.
