Tumblr, please explain why you have stuck this nearly-two-year-old post into my dash as if it were new.

Yes, I am tracking one of the tags it was posted in. Yes, nothing new has been posted in the tag since I started tracking it (though there have been things posted since the above post was made). These are not good excuses.

I’m not sure if it makes it better or worse that I’d already pressed the “like” button on the post previously. On the one hand, you definitely know I’ve read it, so there’s less point in showing it to me again. On the other hand, showing me an unmarked old post is less likely to lead to horrible misunderstandings if I’ve seen it before.

(The thing where you show me a given tracked-tag post several times over the following couple of days was tolerable enough, but this is an entirely different level of bad.)
