@sickburnbro It's been a while since I've even read the article, but the lense of "if you surround yourself with cat shit eventually you'll like it" is evocative and useful, but I feel compelled to attach the article so passersby know what I'm referencing.
Reposts arguably are worse than likes, though, because your introducing tumblr-brain into the ecosystem. I still use likes/reposts, but I'm consciously trying to make them less rage enducing to my mutuals even if it gives me less traffic.
