It's actually kind of impressive how ill-conceived this whole "Notes Preview" business is. At a single stroke, it's been rendered impossible to curate one's experience even on one's own dashboard – now it doesn't matter that you've carefully followed a group of blogs you can trust not to reblog noxious bullshit, because with every post that crosses your dash there's now a chance that Tumblr will automatically append some random asshole's opinion about that post, in a way that neither you nor the person you're following can predict. Bravo.
In the short time this feature has been live I've already been obliged to remove a post from my own blog because I tried to do the "scroll back up the thread and reblog a version without the commentary" thing, only for Tumblr to helpfully display the exact post I was trying to avoid putting on my blog as a notes preview.
