Where do we submit feedback to Tumblr?

Seriously

These group chats are great but you can't have the messages disappear in 24 hours AND not notify members there was a post!

It's almost like they expect us to just check it 24/7. Like sorry I can't be on Tumblr constantly ya know?

I wanna join more group chats but it's useless if people aren't aware you're posting in them and then when they finally do go check, your messages are gone

Tumblr seems obsessed with giving me ads that just piss me off enough I can’t scroll through using the app!

No I do NOT want to see ads telling me signs of lung cancer or lymphoma! Since Pop died of cancer it has been even a more sensitive subject. I have an intense phobia about health care “professionals” so won’t even watch medical dramas, so seeing these ads over and over and over and OVER causes me great anxiety!

Oh, and no, I am NOT interested in dating women over 50 that like to take selfies showing off their large cleavage! I’m still under 50 and a pretty much a hetro female with my own large cleavage. I am not the slightest bit interested!

What gets me is, I have no idea why they are targeting me like this! I never look up medical stuff (see: my phobia), have not looked up any dating sites, etc. When I got ads for nursing homes after I looked up the rehab place Mom was in after her stroke I got it. I hated getting those ads, but they made a kind of sense. This makes NO sense!!

These just started showing up a week or so ago, the same time the browser version of Tumble stopped being usable on my iPad so I have to use the damned app!

Geez, why couldn’t they target me with some other, ANY other, ads? I look up weird stuff all the time!

@staff WHERE ARE MY TAGS??

Sent feedback, changed my review, submitted a help request which got a thanks for reporting spam response. WTF is happening on this site? I've been on Tumblr for at least 6 years, I'm not a new spam site, don't post explicit content so what's the deal? Why should I bother posting things when nobody can see it? Might as well write it in a diary and throw it in a fire.

Tumblr really needs to sort itself out because now two blogs I follow that I really liked have just been hacked and now have those stupid sex game links on them and honestly @staff you should be ashamed of yourself for the state of this website that any blog can just randomly get hacked and that at least once a day I have to report and block another porn bot that's followed me and yet the only blogs I see getting flagged as "explicit" are ones that showed a picture of someone's fucking shoulders or god forbid an ankle like this is the 1800s fucking get it together you've had enough time to fix this I don't get this even a fraction as much on literally an other social media site

UPDATE:

Managed to enable two-step verification on this bitch. Noticed I had some more gross ad posts & panicked, but then learned that, even after a hacker loses access to your blog, you may see more posts that are not your own if the hacker filled up your queue with junk. So I had to manually delete a few hundred such posts that were indeed in my queue. Hopefully that's the last of the issues, but we'll see. Fingers crossed. Worst case scenario, I'll have to delete & start a new blog.
