If, like me, you’re actually a little irrationally afraid of Tumblr’s Missing E threats but don’t want to stop using Missing E, you don’t have to check their stupid box and assent to their ridiculousness. Just click “Uninstall” and “Done” and the warning goes away. It’ll come back after a little while, but you can keep doing that until Tumblr realizes how much they’re embarrassing themselves by openly threatening their users for making their service functional. I don’t imagine that this accomplishes anything, but at least they won’t have you on record as saying that you renounce your right to be supported.

This is also recommended if Tumblr pops up the warning on your iPad because Tumblr can’t even be bothered to check to make sure you are actually using Missing E before “warning” you about the “dangers” of Missing E.

Maybe this will work for someone, but I actually could not get this to work. The stupid modal box was so big the “Done” button didn’t show on the screen, couldn’t be scrolled, and snapped back to its original size as soon as I took my pinch-to-zoom fingers off the screen. 

So I renounced my right to be supported, figuring that if TJ disappearing for 3 months because Tumblr support basically ignored him is what happens when accounts ARE being “supported,” I’d rather take my chances with Missing E.
