Please be a real blog please be a real blo- FUCK

*blocks them*

Red flags on how to find a genuine pornbot scammer under the cut.

How to find a pornbot:

Empty blog. (This has happened recently)

PFP of a random woman, usually hot, sometimes low resolution

No header image - basically the default one our beloved Tumby gives to new accounts.

Bonus points if there’s a few posts. The videos are usually the male+female genre of sexy videos or it’s just a female doing… uhmmmm… the thing… with those…. Things….. Usually the oldest few or so posts are selfies of random women posing in front of their mirrors and then they eventually start posting the sexy videos. This happened in the past but now the pornbots know it’ll get their “blog” taken down so now they’re empty.

Randomly liking unrelated posts. This has happened to me. Only god knows when they’ll start reblogging random shit.

Always remember to block!

You're so pretty I almost blocked you.

oh god its december 2022 again

the hotbots are back. and better than ever. instead of following ppl they are liking random unrelated posts so the report system doesnt know what to do!!!!

[c3s6]

same. but thank the gods that it's not december 2022 when they were popping up non-stop

How hard is it to add a checkbox or a pick the pictures with streetlights thing to the sign up for a tumblr account? I'm so sick of these disgusting porn bots

it's utterly enthralling when i get to have scenes with my hotbot, it riles me something fierce to see how well she handles when i put some torque on her chassis; but when she cries for me? when i get her loudly sobbing and wailing? the harmonic frequency is pure BLISS that i look so consistently forward to doing more and more~ i'm ever so gloriously joyous that she allows me to perform such maintenance on her and each session to play with her is a blessing.

Hey, internet olds: what web search did you use before google?

I'm not looking for webrings; I mean a real search engine. I remember AskJeeves, Hotbot, Yahoo, and I think there was a spider themed one? (Because world wide WEB. Get it?)

So, which one did you use?

[infiniteglitterfall]

Yeah, they do, but are there any that don't suck?

Bing sucks. DuckDuckGo uses Bing, which sucks. Yahoo might be kinda okay?

DogPile VISIBLY sucks, as in it's advertising Amazon, Walmart, and Lowe's to me before I even type anything.

Yandex looks okay for now, but was basically just sold to the Kremlin.

Presearch can't stop advertising to me either. It's full of babble about decentralized blockchain search, and ads for everything from Walmart to Pulsechain. I hate it.

Brave sounds good, but looks identical to Google, specifically down to the weird AI-generated summaries at the top.

Ask.com is terrible. HotBot became the same thing Ask does. AltaVista became Yahoo.

Now I'm into this. Let's Google obscure search engines.

Kagi actually looks better than Google.

It tells you ahead of time when a site is paywalled, gives you more details of each result, and provided some results I hadn't seen on other search engines.

It also costs money - but you get the first 100 searches for free, and they practically say that you can keep giving them burner emails forever. And it's supposed to do well with search results that aren't in English, which only Google is good at otherwise.

Looks like the paid versions are $5/mo for 300 searches, or $10/mo for unlimited. And to be fair to Kagi, lots of apps are charging me $5/mo for stuff I don't always even use.

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

I wish Tumblr would smooth out the process of blocking HotBots. Four clicks and a vestigial dialog that covers blocking the next HotBot, requiring a fifth click, is bad UX.

[bitletsanddrabbles]

writing historical fiction for another country will make you lose your mind because when you google "how much did a towel cost in England in 1885?" google will tell you the cost of towels in America because that's where you live and why would you want to know about England?

writing historical fiction will make you google things like “when we’re towels invented?” “how much did a towel cost in American in 1885?” “historical average number of towels owned per household”

brain called Vox a hotbot, and now I’m done with myself. hello. I am alive and I miss u all.

So the "that's a cover" thread reminded me of something sort of related. I grew up in the era where music was normally heard on the radio, unless someone had a cassette or LP of something, and they only told you the artists and titles of the songs you'd heard at the end of the set. Sometimes the beginning. Occasionally you'd hear songs other places - in stores, in school events, etc. - but there you didn't hear the name or artist at all. In short, you could very easily know a song by heart without knowing what it was called or who performed it. As example, when I was in high school there was a very popular song that could easily have been known as "You know, the one that goes 'Somebody told me that you had a boyfriend...'" The internet was only just becoming a Thing then, so the concept of "Googling the lyrics" wasn't a thing yet, and not just because Google was years away from being invented.

Time went on. I went through uni, graduated, got a job with a commute, and started listening to the radio instead of 'whatever music my friends introduced me to' again. It was then I learned that the one station that played almost exclusively things I liked didn't tell you the titles and artists at all, they made you go to their website to find out who you were listening to! My friend, I did not have time for that. I had a full time job, I had to make my own meals, etc. I did not have time to go to a website and try to remember in which hour I had heard the song with the lyrics "Somebody told me" so I could figure it out.

Of course, by this time Google was starting to be a thing, but "just Google the lyrics" wasn't instinct yet. We were still in HotBot mode and HotBot...went away for a reason.

One day I was walking down the street and I found a CD laying on the sidewalk in a busted up case. I picked it up and looked at it. Band name? The Killers. Unfamiliar. The title? Hot Fuss. Hmm. Not auspicious. Didn't sound like the sort of thing I normally listened to, but hey! Free CD. I took it with me figuring I'd a) see if it played and b) if it was worth keeping and if it was trash I'd turn it into a coaster. When I got home I wasn't in the mood to listen to new music, forget potential trash new music, so I set it aside.

It got slowly buried.

I forgot it existed.

The real estate bubble burst and I had to move out of my condo and into a house I hastily went in with Mum on. It got packed without anyone doing more than registering the fact it was a CD.

In the meantime, I wound up with a pest control operative's license. This had been encouraged so that I could talk more competently to customers on the phone, but it quickly because obvious the real reason it was so that I could ride around with unliscensed techs and make sure they didn't do anything illegal while we waited for them to be able to take their state test. Most of them were pretty competent, pleasant individuals, so it was mostly just kind of annoying because the managers could be kinda dicks about it. One of the guys was a huge, huge, huge music buff and we had similar taste, so we road around singing along with old favorites and he introduced me to some new stuff. He loved Mumford and Sons, so I learned their name. There was also another song that played that a lot on his station that was pretty obviously titled "Mr. Brightside". I mean, nothing else you'd call that song. At first I wasn't sure about it. I kinda liked it, I kinda didn't. It grew on me though.

By now, Google was firmly more than just an email service. The years when you needed an invitation to get a GMail account were gone and Google was starting to be the search engine of choice. YouTube had come on the scene. When I wanted to listen to "Mr. Brightside" at home, all I had to do was go to YouTube, look it up, and I could not only listen to it, but also learn that it was done by a band called The Killers. I also, courtesy of the side bar, discovered that they had done that song with the lyrics that went "Somebody told me" (and hey! Guess the song title! ...yeah, that wasn't hard...) and discovered and utterly fell in love with "Smile Like You Mean It". Since .mp3s were now something you could purchase, I bought them all.

One day I stepped on the floor of my office and it gave under my weight. Shit. Say what you like about renting, but unless your landlord is a slumlord, having someone else to pay the bills is nice. Just in time for Christmas we got to have my office refloored and, oh hey, several other things were no longer up to code, so that needed doing too. My whole life was basically shoved into the second bedroom. I was not pleased.

There was still a lot of clutter from the move in there, though, since someone else will finish unpacking for me after I've died of old age, so I took the time to sift through some of it. In the process, I found that CD I'd found on the sidewalk years ago. I immediately recognized it as 'that CD I found on the sidewalk years ago' and tried to remember the title and artist. Couldn't, except that it hadn't sounded promising. Needless to say I picked it up to have a look.

Yes, it still plays.

(It's actually probably a good thing I hadn't listened to it when I found it since "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine" took a couple listens to catch on, so I probably wound have junked it...)

regarding last reblog:

i have recently marked up my hotbot! and both of us are so ***THOROUGHLY ENTHRALLED*** about it. she gets to sport a few random marks and my name across her midsection, and i get to relish the joy of the sight and knowledge. there won't be pictures but do know that it is a high BLISS to be trusted to do so~!

HotBot (1999)

[rishhhh]

The term Digital Marketing was first used in the 1990s. The digital age took off with the coming of the internet and the development of the Web 1.0 platform. The Web 1.0 platform allowed users to find the information they wanted but did not allow them to share this information over the web. Up until then, marketers worldwide were still unsure of the digital platform. They were not sure if their strategies would work since the internet had not yet seen widespread deployment.

In 1993, the first clickable banner went live, after which HotWired purchased a few banner ads for their advertising. This marked the beginning of the transition to the digital era of marketing. Because of this gradual shift, the year 1994 saw new technologies enter the digital marketplace. The very same year, Yahoo was launched.

Also known as "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" after its founder Jerry Yang, Yahoo received close to 1 million hits within the first year. This prompted wholesale changes in the digital marketing space, with companies optimizing their websites to pull in higher search engine rankings. 1996 saw the launch of a couple of more search engines and tools like HotBot, LookSmart, and Alexa.
