I’ve had to block more pornbots in the last 48 hours than I have basically the entire rest of time I’ve spent on Tumblr.

Have they become hungrier or less discerning or what? 

I’m pretty sure they’re pornbots, at least. If they’re twitter refugees still filtering into tumblr then they clearly haven’t taken ANY welcome-to-tumblr advice because it’s all empty blogs with generic underwear/swimsuit model looking headers.

they’re getting more aware of what it takes to look somewhat more likely to be a real person, but it’s still transparent they’re bots fishing for clickthrough. every single one i’ve blocked has a link for a blog description bragging about their top OF percentile. they only have two posts at most, and most are empty. they actually have been going to the trouble of making their header, avatar, and any posts they make be pictures of the same person for the first time i have ever noticed

honestly, if they didn’t all uniformly have a link in their desc that says it goes to an OF page, it would be very difficult to tell

Anyway, I’m going to take a moment to remind folks that we need to report porn bots as SPAM.

Especially with the return of the tit this year, the primary issue has never been the adult content: it’s that these accounts are fake spam. I’ve already been overjoyed and delighted to see SWers returning to Tumblr–real ones, not these mimic weirdos with fake links. Reporting the blog of a porn bot as adult only blurs the avatar and hides the account from searches, but the blog continues to exist and can still be reblogged from if bots are going through the notes on posts. Reporting as spam can fully get the account removed.

This is meant as entirely lighthearted: can't believe how many people are calling Benoit Blanc the spiritual successor to Sherlock Holmes as if social eccentricities, roping clients into intricate ruses and solving murders at glamorous parties - with an outrageous accent and a gay little fit - are not all textbook Hercule Poirot. Like that's the Poirot modus operandi right there.

“He hand’t stopped Christmas from coming, it came! Somehow or other, it came just the same. And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling: ‘How could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags!’” — How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966), dir. Chuck Jones.
