Hacker News Reader

I did do this https://www.tumblr.com/moviecode and this https://behind-the-screens.tv/

Aww, I was having fun reading that until the forced tumblr login prompt blocked the page.

I'm sure they've done the research and run the numbers, but it surprises and saddens me that social media sites have determined they're better off halting user interaction like that than allowing someone to read and become interested in the content.

I am going to migrate off Tumblr. Shouldn't need to login to see stuff I gave them freely. Set up a placeholder site: https://moviecode.xyz/

The tumblr site asks me to log in if I want to continue seeing posts after I get to the Futurama one :-(

Ugh. That sucks. Time to remove then whole thing from Tumblr and make a stand alone site.
