For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

There was a good article (maybe video?) posted not too long ago about how Google search results came to suck I wish I could find.

I think it essentially came down to ad revenue and websites tailoring their content to fit Google's algorithm.

Very annoying. Even the old tip of adding the word Reddit to get results from real people is annoying these days because of how they try to push you to login.

Edit: this was the article

I use to work for a local pest control company who would legit check google reviews, contact their guy at google ad's and then ask to have the bad reviews removed and the company would pay for that.

Huh I wonder how expensive and easy that would be

I never got to find out. I would just email some manager saying we got a bad review and then she'd "take care of it"

it was all very sketchy.
