Well, it seems it was a glitch + some misinformation (not helped by the said glitch), but I already see two problems with that :
1) As with Facebook, people who will hate it will still hang on because a lot of existing content they've subscribed/favorited/bookmarked etc...
2) Getting the Tumblr userbase to do anything other than whine is like herding cats into dancing Gangnam Style (I mean real cats, not Psy with superimposed kitty faces).
If you're unhappy with whatever they're doing, a better option (IMO)would be to complain even louder until Tumbler actually changes things. Unlike FB, which is pretty deaf to complaints to begin with and is run by Satan-lite (Zuckerberg), Tumblr was only recently acquired and Yahoo investors don't want to sink the boat.
