#pfft yeah – @misscrazyfangirl321 on Tumblr

New tumblr bot scam dropped, folks.

[images: several screenshots of like notifications from various different accounts. All the various accounts have the same Tumblr logo and all the accounts have the name “staff” followed by 6 random numbers. End description]

I’ve been getting dozens, maybe hundreds, of likes on random popular posts of mine from accounts like this. If you go to any of these blogs, they all have exactly one post.

[image: a screenshot of a blog landing page. It has a header that says “tumblr staff”, a blog title that says “staff”, and a single post entitled “Dating by Tumblr (18+)”. The post advertises a new dating platform by Tumblr for finding a partner or a one night stand. The post has a link to a site.” End description.]

I’m on mobile so I haven’t inspected where the link leads but, I’m gonna take a wild guess and say nowhere good.

Anyway, considering everyone went feral at the idea of paying for Posts+ I cannot imagine anyone’s gonna see this and go “a dating site! Sponsored by tumblr! Wow! I love to give it my money!” but still maybe just report and block these blogs like you would with any other bot spam.
