(blog) I was wrong.

Yep, I was wrong before.

I love the mods now. I'm deeply sorry for offending you for doing your job.

Oh, don't get me wrong. This is still literally 1984.

It's just the kind of 1984 I can get behind.

So.

If you make bots, I don't think it's a secret the thumbnail is responsible for more than 50% of interaction.

Maybe you even remember my rant a while back, when I said the GIFs in the description put an even bigger gap between the AI writers and the rest.

I mentioned it in the context how AI writers get an unfair advantage by saving time on writing bots and having more time for gens, but the real underlying point was (why they're getting the said advantage in the first place) is that in the current meta, if you post a bot without the extra pics or better yet a gif in the thumbnail, you can say goodbye to the trending.

Certain people used this image craze to the maximum. I won't name any, but you know them.

And now, the THINKpocalypse happened.

Turns out, neither your follower count, nor checkmark or even knowing mods doesnt help when the mods have their directives.

Yes, the bankers are more important than any creator. Who would've thought.

And they're not happy about that, oh no.

They thought they could get away with it forever. But the higher you soar, the bigger the fall.

And i love it.

Truth be told, everyone struggled with the filter. But at this point it's stable enough I am confident I can pass a tasteful pic through.

They can't make them tasteful.

Because all they can gen is porn.

The rules are painfully simple. No nipslips, cameltoes, fondling genitals, etc. Just tone down your antics a bit.

They can't. They either lack the taste to differentiate porn from erotica, or can't do it out of fear of losing their place in trending.

If their "content" was so good, why do they care about censorship that much?

If people play your bots for their "content", shouldn't you be able to post a bot with any pic and still trend?

Both questions are rhetorical, of course. We all know the answer.

The reality is, the only thing what differentiates a smut bot with 100k views from the one with 100 views are the pics.

And I want the THINK slapped on every single one that is clickbait porn.

Love you, mods. Mwah 💋
