Why am I getting reblogged by tacky Western porn blogs all of a sudden?
I mean, at least they don’t sound like bots or anything but… why?
I give it 80/20 it’s just a more sophisticated component of spam vs you just happen to appeal to those people by posting what you post. (I follow you partly because you remind me a bit of one of my exes.) Porn bots also follow people to get clicks, to answer one of your earlier probably rhetorical questions.
I was mostly just wondering why they’d want my posts over at their blogs.
I mean, it was a relationship post but it was not the lewd kind, it was the heartwarming kind.
Not to mention the fact that I have a personal aversion to meatspace porn, still…
(Derailing my own post to ask: In what ways am I like your ex? Good ways, I hope?)

To be honest, I don’t fully understand the behavior of porn blogs on this platform, and I can’t figure out how to tell which ones are real and which ones are bots, nor why some (but not all) of the bots do what they do.
It feels almost like they just exist to insert porn into places for no reason, or as part as some sort of “sexual enrichment project” or something.
“Here, mammal, we see that you find images of copulation satisfactory with high probability, based on your demographic data. Gaze upon these images. Our bountiful network capacity blesses you with these gif(t)s.”

That’s, uh, complicated. But I don’t hate-follow blogs, so it’s good ways, yeah. Most of my exes are nerdy subby bi women. One of them was very devoted, and needed me as a stabilizer at the time. I’d still be with her today except for reasons. You aren’t exactly like her, you just have some traits that happen to line up.
The primary reason I follow your blog is that I find it interesting, though. In fact, I seem to recall having briefly seen it some years ago while reading some discourse involving theunitofcaring, I think? I registered a Tumblr lately because I was impressed with the discourse on Rationalist/Rationalist-Adjacent Tumblr. I added your blog a while after I saw it again.
