Okay, so it turns the problem with my activity feed that I’ve been complaining about for the past 3 days (the flood of unwanted reply notifications I’ve been getting from other ppl’s viral posts) is indeed a new “feature,” and not a glitch.
THE PLAGUE OF SPAM HAS A NAME: Conversational Notes
Apparently, tumblr thinks that turning our activity pages into an endless YouTube comment section will “encourage more conversations” and “increase engagement” (see: TechCrunch article).
Eat shit, @staff.
Y’all been warned.
I got to be an early adopter of this bullshit.
Not all blogs have yet been “gifted” with this “””feature””” but I don’t doubt that soon your blogs will also be affected.
You won’t be able to leave a reply, or reblog comment on any viral post without having your activity page flooded with every single subsequent reply that post receives.
GLHF
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER
Oh joy
@lilacnebulae Is this like the problem you were having???
