So…I just learned that tumblr has a newish policy. New blogs are hidden from tags. So….say you make an ask/rp blog and then put out a post to get attention for it………no one can see it. until you ‘seem human’ through re blogging and commenting. Which ask blogs rarely do. also sideblogs cant like things
this explains why bots have taken to rebloging peoples posts and commenting on them. To get around the policy and seem ‘human’
So if you made a new blog and feel like it was ignored…..its not your fault. Its tumblrs shitty system. im testing getting around it by pming friends through the blog,,,so we’ll see if that works
Not just commenting, also removing the html text parts, so it looks on their blog as if yours was a porn bot as well.
The last few “updates” have felt like they’re just trying to cover up the porn bot problem instead of actually handling it. It started with forced safe mode and “best posts first”, then they auto-tag any slightly beige image as nsfw, and now they’re just treating any new blog like a porn bot by default and punishing any users who don’t already have visibility… Is this really the best way they can find the handle this problem?
>then they auto-tag any slightly beige image as nsfw
But there was a post with a ton of notes when it first happened where this girl was having all her cat posts flagged and turned out it was because the sofa was that human-skin-tone color. And I’m guessing they probably haven’t fixed it.
“please disable your adblock” messages might as well say “please hit your back button and never return to this website”
Internet advertising does not work the same way as other forms of advertising. Unscrupulous developers can create ads that feature malicious code, so adblocking isn’t just for convenience, it’s a necessity to keep your computer running smoothly.
The internet is also the only place where ads can be infested with viruses or be so poorly programmed they slow your PC to a crawl.
