Tumblr ruins things, which is why I avoid it like the plague (most of the time). But I can definitely see how that would play a part in your attitude towards the show. There are fandoms that have turned me off the source material in the past, and that's not even tumblr level exposure.
It also probably makes it harder to walk away from without it feeling like some huge thing. A couple of my TVD watching flisters have also drifted away from the show during the last couple seasons, which has made it easier for me to loosen the strings as I've felt my energy go out of it. Last season was a paradox in that I hated just about everything about it, but I still had enough passion about it that I didn't quite realize how loose my actual attachment had gotten until this year.
