I saw a bunch of posts on the tumblr frontpage without being logged in. How are these determined, if not by some kind of algorithm? I made a new account and I saw a bunch of posts on my feed, apparently personalized based on my past surfing, without having followed anyone. Again, same question.
I have nothing against "algorithms", but why is the CEO of the company that owns tumblr reblogging someone making claims about tumblr that are just not true?

- amadeuspagel 4y agoI've finally been able to follow someone (I tried this already yesterday, but their posts didn't show up in my feed) and I see their posts now, but interspersed with "check out these blogs". It's a million times more obnoxious then twitter, and on twitter you have "latest tweets" mode where actually see only the tweets from people you follow, in reverse chronological order and nothing else.
