It’s like Plinko. You scrolled the dash. You saw an ad for Tumblr that looked like a shitpost version of an ad for Tumblr. Surely Tumblr isn’t advertising itself on Tumblr. You click the ad. You are...on Tumblr. The ad for Tumblr that you found on Tumblr has taken you to Tumblr. Well, sometimes ads don’t lie. Welcome to your hellsite.
Here’s how to react to an ad for Tumblr that you see on Tumblr:
- Find the weird Pikachu man ad on Tumblr that is advertising Tumblr by telling you this is “Where your interests connect you to your people.”
- Click that.
- Find yourself...on Tumblr. But wait. This is a different part of Tumblr. This is the part on Tumblr where you read about an ad on Tumblr that took you to Tumblr.
- Click here to leave this metaverse and go to the part of Tumblr where you find out what the other humans on Tumblr are doing on Tumblr.
- Then scroll across the trending topics at the top, or just dive right on down into the hellfire that is trending posts on Tumblr. Underwater wife? Check. An opinionated raccoon? It’s here. Oh, and the aforementioned plinko? Naturally.
Remember that Pikachu man is always watching. Sometimes, Pikachu man is judging. But one thing Pikachu man never is? Off Tumblr. Or actually Pikachu.
