i hypothesize that some social medias in the post economy are more “source” and some others are more “sink”. instagram and cohost are “sink” social medias because be real how often do you see an instagram or cohost post reposted to another site. tumblr is a “source” social media because its posts get reposted all the time despite having a smaller user base compared to bigger social medias. i’m becoming a post economist

in reply to @PC36's post:

this is why wages are lower on tumblr. to enable their post export economy, posts need to be cheaper for other social media to import than they would be to produce domestically. thus the cost of the labor that goes into them has to be lower than it would be on post-importing economy social media.

[nods] the rise of the shitpost on tumblr and twitter led to an incredible boost in the post export economy as they’re easy and cheap to make and have mass appeal. other sites struggle to make shitposts themselves due to lack of mental illness so it’s cheaper for them to import
