I have a hunch that FaceBook and twitter's enforced brevity were the bridges (or the gateway drugs, or whatever handy phrase you like) beween tumblr and what's now considered "oldschool" (BBS, Forums, and blog/LJ/DW). Clicking "like" and hashtagging has replaced articulate fanfom discussion the way clicking Favorite or Kudo seems to have replaced fanwork feedback.

(I admit the latter could be coincidence, but privately I think not.)

I don't think it's a coincidence either, they're certainly similar interactions. What gets me is that while you can find lots of people who agree tumblr is terrible because discussion is replaced by reblogging/favoriting, it's not that simple when it comes to kudos vs. comments. You'll find lots of people who insist that kudos are all they can do or want to do and how horrible writers are for wanting more. You'll also find people who declare that they love kudos as much as comments because they're happy with anything.

It's fascinating to me to see how two very similar things get such different reactions.

I agree with you, I think it's part of the same trend. People go for short, easy, not a lot of text. You just write random stuff and people "like" your stuff and at the end of the day you all get to pat yourselves on the back for participation and feel like you have lots of friends.

At least on fb you can sort of have actual discussions - with tumblr it's basically impossible, so people just scroll and look at things, and sometimes go "omg look" by clicking reblog.
