In case you wanna know why so many porn blogs follow you.

absolutely the most riveting part of this is that the person writing this response opens with “I post one picture a day of my goats” 

So what you’re saying is that Tumblr needs to put nofollow attributes on links in the notes? (Is that a theme thing or a Tumblr thing? IDK.)

I’ll believe that this is part of it, but I don’t think this is the whole story. Vanilla porn bots seem pretty indiscriminate, but kink porn bots didn’t start following me until I started leaving notes on legit blogs about the same kinks. That seems more advertisement-like.

(Either way, I block them. It may or may not limit their spread, but if nothing else my follower count is more accurate.)
