Sort of yeah.

The unsuitedness of the site for actual discussion and comment troubles me. Someone can post some stupid shit that 'looks' legit and everyone will just go reblog reblog reblog while any dissenting voices go practically unheard...except to anyone already following the dissenter. An infinity of echo chambers.
Or people can passive-aggressively dump something in a tag (oh lord, I want to go back in time and destroy the very idea of "a tag for classification becoming equivalent with an actual fandom space" before it can ever be birthed)

You get good content here and there, but there's little to no sense of community outside your personal sycophantsphere. Which might be good in some cases, but it just seems so unhealthy for it to have the amount of sway it does in fandom. It's like it's constructed to incubate small-mindedness and petty shit.

The tags are the worst, and I hate the fact that tag-spam CAN exist with a fiery passion.

Basically I agree with everything. People try to have actual discussions by skipping over to skype to get to know people, but it's really not the same as open discussion in posts...

I also hate how because of the platform popularity breeds popularity, as opposed to a blogging platform where if you crossposted to a community everybody had the chance to see your work and click/not click as they chose.

"Personal sycophantsphere" is such a good description. Yeah, sometimes it's nice for me to have an echo chamber to support me (my personal journal on LJ has this function), but I feel like I NEED to have it counterbalanced by honest discussion and different opinions that challenge me and make me think about the strength of my argument. When I post an opinion, I don't want it to be like I'm blasting it through a megaphone. I want it to be like I'm telling it calmly to a person next to me, who might have the complete opposite opinion.
