Personally, I find that your first two points only really come into effect when a) someone adds a comment like "OMG! I agree! xD" which contributes nothing to the post at all, or b) someone posts something like (for lack of a better example coming to mind) "X/Y as a pairing sucks!" in the X/Y pairing tag, which also doesn't really contribute anything worthwhile, so for my part, I haven't witnessed how either of these social conventions have shut down meaningful communication.

Obviously Tumblr as a site is not entirely a hivemind (despite claims to the contrary), so these won't hold true with every user one encounters; however, they are common enough in my experience that I felt they should be brought up as counterpoints to those parts of your comment.

As for your third point - am I correct in presuming you're calling out the hypocrisy of some Tumblr users and not the idea of putting lengthy text under a cut in general? If so, I am in complete agreement, but if your thoughts lean more towards the latter, I must point out that this is not a Tumblr-exclusive convention, as it has been around since at least the heyday of LiveJournal.
