Ads on My Own Blog??

Ive been using this app for years and its always had its issues, but never bad enough to make me write a review. But this update is that bad. There are a lost of major misses in this update, plus a list of things that users have been requesting forever and still havent been fixed/addressed.

- I know you need to make money, so I can accept there being ads on my feed (a lot more than usual, I might add, but I can let it go because there are things on my feed that I cant expect or know that I will like, so the ads are easy to overlook). But now there are ads on my blog, always in the third post position. This is an issue for me because I when I go to my blog, I expect to only see the things I post and reblog. Not to be that person, but the ads really do ruin the "aesthetic" that I like to achieve.

- The video player has always been glitchy, but the new player format is completely unintuitive and frustrating to use.

- There is still no option to search an individual blog instead of all of Tumblr. There also, as far as I know, is no way to search for a post by wording instead of by tags. Any time I have a specific post in mind I just have to google the phrase + "tumblr" and hope that it finds what Im talking about. It rarely works.

- There is still no reliable system in place for users to block certain tags and content from showing up in their feed.

- I am followed by pornbot blogs every single day. Can we please have a more accessible and effective way of blocking other blogs like that and also reporting them to Staff?

This review has been a long time coming for me, but I cant believe that this much has been consistently overlooked between updates. Please focus less on cool new features and more on addressing lasting concerns from users.
