hi, just wanted to say that when i saw i had a tumblr notification i was afraid it was another bot, but no it was actually you, a person with impeccable taste (heustienne enjoyers unite)!
Yes, it is I, definitely not a bot!
(Pay no attention to the machine behind the curtain)
Heustienne deserved better and we should've seen her again after Heavensward, thanks for coming to my TED talk
#ffxiv#heustienne de vimaroix#my girl is canonically the second best dragoon (third if we include wol)#and was estinien's equal before he was chosen by the eye#she is so incredibly strong (both physically and mentally) and i want her back#return her to us squenix#tho tbh pretty much everyone in the drg quests got shafted except alberic and estinien#we should've seen more of them in heavensward too#also i feel you on the bot issue#thankfully they seem to only be following my main (which is fairly inactive) so they're easily dealt with#but i've had to report and block So Many Bots in just the last week alone

Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of spambots recently? For the last couple weeks, I've had about ten random posts I made in 2020 get infested by spambots, dozens of them, hundreds of them, liking the posts but otherwise not interacting. Whenever I go through my notes, it's the same ten posts, never anything recent, all from the same kind of spam blogs, "untitled" with either a default icon or a heavilly photoshopped picture of a tan white girl with duck lips (never the same girl twice; I guess it's their way to try and hide the fact that they're bots?)
Two to four random words, sometimes followed by a 2 digit number. It's outrageous how many I've had to report and block this week alone.
I had to delete a few of the infected posts because they just wouldn't stop. I screenshotted them so I could reupload them later, but it bothers me how calculated this all feels; it's not random, they're congregating on the same ten posts, so somebody somewhere chose them specifically, or else they were picked by an algorithm for who knows what reason (they weren't even any of my popular posts, they all had single or double digit notes).
Is anyone else having this problem? It didn't used to be this egregious, usually one or two spambots a month, not a dozen a day.
@staff get on this. What are we not paying you for?
