Online abuse

jakoblodwick:

After reading my mom’s post on shutting down her tumblelog, I can’t help but agree, and it’s time for me to end this.

It’s not about Tumblr, specifically. It’s about the web in general. It’s become overrun by too many animals. One of the last straws was adventures of mascarah, who, after reading a few posts where I expressed myself, wrote this:

I will say that if you cut off his head he still looks much better here than with his new shorter locks and Office Space/ child molester glasses. You might not have been happy then, Jake, but wow, you looked so much better.

Jakob is calling it quits on blogging. He’s tired of the abuse he’s getting online. I don’t think the web is being overrun by animals but it’s hard to argue with Jakob given the frequent attacks he gets.

I feel for him. He doesn’t deserve this crap. It’s just been awful. He’s a good guy. He’s accomplished a lot and should be proud of his work. His blog is also one of the most honest blogs out there and I’ve so enjoyed following his tumblelog.

I hope he comes back to blogging and this just turns out to be an understandable break.

Regardless I am looking forward to all of Jakob’s future projects. I’m rooting for him.
