I actually really love when people tag vids. Tumblr autoplays everything these days, which lags my computer really badly. So if one of my dash reblogs a bunch of vids really quickly, my computer locks up. (This got REALLY BAD during the Mike Brown shit, because people started blogging untagged POLICE BRUTALITY VIDS. All of which autoplayed and locked up my computer so bad I couldn't close the fucking tab.)

Sure, I can unfollow, but most of the folks I know only go through vid binges rarely, so it's a periodic annoyance, rather than unfollow-worthy.

You should complain to tumblr about that. Tumblr video playback is horrible and the autoplay does suck.

But you may also want to check that everything with your computer and internet is okay, for the longest time I had lagging issues that I thought was due to having an old computer but it turned out I really just needed a new modem (and the new modem was free with my internet provider so it didn't cost me anything to fix.)

Thankfully, it is not my Internet! This was something that's happened over a few different Internet connections. And I also have a new computer that I'm phasing into use, which will hopefully make things better. (It's still in the installs and updates stage.) I've also gotten a lot pickier about who I follow on tumblr, so I haven't had this problem since the Mike Brown thing.

--Rogan

Ah man, I feel for you. I use the phone app for most everything so tumblr doesn't autoplay videos for me, but I know from past experience that a page-full of videos or gifs can fuck things up. Computer freezes are the WORST. (And police brutality should always be tagged imo, holy shit...)

If I didn't already tag vids, I would want to do it now. I'm glad it helps some people.

(I hope you don't run across any other unpleasant tagged videos!)

Thankfully, it's usually pretty uncommon! Like, the only time it really fucked me up was with the Mike Brown shit where EVERYONE was posting police brutality vids, often untagged.

These days, at worst I get a couple cute animal things on the same page, which is annoying, but not the OH DEAR GOD NO! that the police brutality shit was. I'd WAY rather my page freeze on pugs or otters than THAT.

I also appreciate gifs getting tagged for a similar reason--well, that and sometimes they're really eye-searing.

The only other time I can recall really going OH SWEET MOTHERFUCK NO was the time I accidentally found myself on a pro-ana tumblr. Oh man was that bad. I think that person also posted photos of her self-harm too. I actually covered my eyes and closed the tab blind that time! (Obviously, I didn't follow her.)

--Rogan

I've never thought to tag gifs! Not sure why... A massive amount of the posts I reblog are gifs but it hasn't crossed my mind. I also admit I assume most people see a lot/reblog a lot of gifs of their own, so I haven't considered it. Maybe I should tag them.

was the time I accidentally found myself on a pro-ana tumblr

...Well that's disturbing. And sad. I hope that person got help.

Yeah, I generally don't follow folks who post a ton of gifs. So that's not as big a pain as videos, I just like being able to cut past them, since I'm a raccoon who can't look away from moving images, no matter what they contain. (I'm the same when a TV is in the room with me. Doesn't matter if it's a damn bank commercial, I can't not stare at it.) But I can totally understand why people wouldn't tag them, and if it's a more "serene" gif (you know, rain falling or something) that's a lot easier and not too annoying at all.

Yeah, I hope so too. Those pro-ana and self-harm sites scare the bejeezus out of me.

--Rogan

I'm going to try to remember to tags gifs from now on. I already tag videos and fanart and audio posts but for some reason I have never thought, "I should tag gifs!"

Thanks! I always appreciate when folks tag stuff like that, for us poor schmucks with slower connections or comps.
