Do you like this Vocaloid song? is a Tumblr blog run by ???. It runs weekly Tumblr polls that showcase individual vocal synth songs -- first presenting a 30-second clip of the song with no title or attribution. After the poll closes, the moderator reveals the title and creator of the song.

History/Context

When tumblr introduced polls one form of fannish blog that became established was "do you like <x>" polls. (People also post such individual, but a number of blogs sprang up just to posting this kind of content). This blog also provides history & context for why songs were chosen (at least, mod-selected songs, reader-submitted songs might not have a reason provided).

They usually provide pretty in-depth descriptions (with opinions, history, context, fan response) in "reveals" after each poll closed. They stopped doing that for all songs in January 2024 when they fell behind their polling scehdule (post 1; still linking song info; decision to only post commentary sometimes).

• would be good to quote one of the asks where the Mod talks about what inspired them to start the blog -- iirc they talk about history & wanting to share underrated faves/spread awareness of different synths. they've probably given different answers across multiple asks
