“ Many photos on Tumblr are not even credited, because to digital image collectors it simply doesn’t matter where the pictures of crumbling buildings and heart-shaped pastries and brightly colored sneakers are from, or what material reality they document. On Tumblr they become communal property, emblematic of subcultural affiliations, aesthetic orientations, social locations, and ideological dispositions.

Or many tumblr users are simply too lazy or intellectually incurious to credit images to their creators. This is theoretical excusifying for what is essentially dick behavior.
