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:

but why even build such a """feature""", if you'd get sued to hell and back for it in any self-respecting country?

Just don't activate it in self-respecting countries. And in America, wow, look at all this free data that is being stored on our servers! Surely we can parse that for something interesting and sell it or train an AI on it. Once users get used to it we can even charge them for the privelege.

When you find any business decision that makes no sense and you ask "why the fuck would they do that??" just follow the money trail and you'll find your answer. It's always about money. Every time.
