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.

Results are often filled with low-effort, low-value content designed primarily for advertising. Listicles, recipes that would be 20 pages if printed and each page containing ads, content that's just copied from some other site with more ads added, etc. I think Google could fix or alleviate these issues, but they choose not to because a lot of the ads are probably being served by Google's own ad network. Kagi, for instance, alleviates some of these issues with an obviously much smaller budget than Google.
