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.

I don't disagree with you, but I do think it's worth considering that there might be vastly more chronically online people than you think.

I don't really have a sense for how common they are across the board - but ofc lots of folks are. I was myself at one point, and still am to some extent but in a much healthier way I think. It's certainly something that can change over time and I think more and more people are experiencing social media burnout. I try to be optimistic because if there's hope for me there's hope for everyone else.

And it also means that I'm constantly surprised at the number of people I meet near me who are engaged and doing things for the community and I just wouldn't have seen em online.
