Permanently Disable Tumblarity

http://staff.tumblr.com

To whom it may concern,

It has been almost a month since you have taken the infamous Tumblarity (a number that measures your popularity on tumblr.com) out of our dashboards. It has been said that Tumblarity will be coming back after a short while (when you fix the Tumblr Directory, as was said in your Staffs Tumblr Blog). But in a very high number of cases, a lot of people have been disliking Tumblarity and even using GreaseMonkey (a JavaScript Add-On in Firefox) to take off the Tumblarity value on their dashboards sidebar. We would highly recommend that you permanently take off the Tumblarity on Tumblr because it has been nothing but a nuisance. People post for higher Tumblarity and often just post because of Tumblarity. It has taken away Tumblrs true nature: To express yourself no matter what and not care about how people are liking or reblogging it. Tumblr shouldnt be a popularity contest. It should be about the essence of the writer. We would like for Tumblr to have a better measuring strategy so you could still have popular tumblrs listed on your site, like say, site traffic for instance? Wouldnt it be better to measure your popular sites by the click instead of making them slaves to Tumblariy?

We hope for your kind consideration, Please accept our best wishes and thanks for your attention to this important request.
