  stubby, you just. Don't. Get it. If you would stop to actually think about it for a while you'd understand that under Threadless' system MORE designs actually have a chance of being printed than under a true democracy.

  Don't tell me that I'm not thinking, I disagree with you thats all thats happening here.

  Oh and p.s I spend a lot of time studying how internet communities work and how ideas (or memes) transfer over networks of people so contrary to what you think I do know what I'm talking about.

• Because for me the community was always the blogs and the social media fragmented so there was no one clear hub.

  I'm not a designer, I'm an occasional voter and I cant afford to be a customer so the more I turn up I feel like I don't have a place here. Which is a damn shame because that's 7 years of my life. I loved this online community, why else would I fly out to Chicago two times to go hang out with the people in person? But when I look at the blogs today vs what it used to be that's long dead.

  What you see as complaining I see as trying to make a difference, I believe I'm highlighting issues.

  And I've tried just talking about random crap like we used to and you know what happens? it gets buried by all of the self promotion.

  As for the topic at hand the op wanted to discuss whether or not the tumblr gave people an unfair bias, the reason I ignored you is because you have absolutely no proof of that statement.

  And I'm sorry but its pretty obvious that if you give others access to a platform with more viewers their going to have a better chance of being seen than someone who doesn't have that advantage.

  Does it help people get printed? I have no idea there are too many different factors and we don't get to see that data but its still a bias.

• It uses elements of the political process far more than any company has ever done and its the first to implement it on this level successfully so the only institutions you can compare it to are political ones.

  My problem with you're statement is its based on the argument that we don't matter, when threadless has said time and again that without the community they dont exist and their entire selling point is based on the idea that we the people choose the designs that get printed.

  You can be apathetic about it all you want but I feel like our say in the process has been slowly undermined over the years, I mean that would explain why the amount of people voting dropped? Because people feel like they dont matter.
