Petition to have Tumblr actually do something about porn blog bots following users.
• It’s annoying.
• It gives an imperfect metric for how many followers you have. (I would estimate about 25% of my “followers” are porn blogs run by bots).
• It makes pulling up your activity page iffy even if you use Tumblr strictly for SFW content.
• It’s problematic for individuals who have struggled with sex and/or pornography addictions, especially since many of the blog names are not obviously porn names, causing you to preview the blog.
• It exposes minors to illegal and harmful content.And to many of us:
• It’s disgusting.
• it’s degrading to human beings, especially women.
• It makes Tumblr a less classy, less reputable place.Please share this if you agree this is a serious problem.
I’ve been getting a huge influx of porn bots following me in the past few weeks. Almost every single blog that has followed me in the last 7 days alone has been a porn blog.
We need to stop this. My old, deleted blog had porn bot followers as well. I shudder to think of what’s following now.
