Here it is: Best stuff first

Extremely handy if you follow a lot of people and hate missing anything good. 

Best Stuff First moves the best stuff on your dashboard—mhm!—right up to the top. 

It’s rolling out this week on iOS and Android, and comes with this Help Center article.  

Thanks! ✌️

Head’s up folks! Tumblr decided to shit the bed and go non-chronological!

This bullshit is being rolled out this week and it’s going to be default!

This is dangerous and manipulative.

The main reasons for these “algorithms” that Instagram, Facebook and Twitter have rolled out are manipulating what people see. Content they want you to see gets pushed to the top, anything threatening to their interests gets quietly tossed to the bottom so you’ll be too tired or bored to see it.

I can see this seriously messing with the livelihood of artists, so please reblog if you can!

This adds a whole new level to being shadowbanned. Now you can just be shadow-shoved-to-the-bottom and no one will ever see your posts again. Ngl I see this as a way Staff will deal with users they find ~problematic~.

Remember that time Facebook did the exact same thing, then conducted illegal psychosocial experiments on it’s users by tampering with their activity feeds to make depressing posts, happy posts, etc. show up more often to manipulate the emotional states of their users?

It’s probably in your best interest to disable this.

Just fyi. This had been turned on for me and I didn’t know until I saw this post. It’s under General Settings->Dashboard on your mobile settings.

hey you know that feature everyone constantly complains about on facebook and twitter? why dont we put it here too

@Staff COULD YOU FUCKING NOT?

What the actual fuck?!

I doubt that Tumblr will use it to suppress (politically) “problematic” users; that would be too much work. It’s going to screw over relatively obscure creators even more than they already were.
