I know people have been joking about ONTD dying for a while now, but it’s been just in the past few months that I’ve noticed the comment count go extremely down. Sad.

I feel like there's a lot less posts than there used to be.

hmmm

getting posts approved ain't that easy anymore

It's frustrating we can't just post photos directly... every post on here has to use twitter or instagram to post pictures.

since the getty embed doesn't work anymore picture posts are a pain in the ass to make

I wonder how much of that is due to how many sources are banned now.

[likeanunmadebed]

people can still post tweets from said banned sources though - and then you link to the tweet and not the website itself

in another post, someone was bitching about having to include a source.... but that's an essential thing for posts on here!

I don't even think it's that making posts is difficult because it really isn't since literally everything is posted on Twitter but I feel like it's harder to justify spending any time making posts about things that aren't the biggest celeb news if they aren't going to get even a couple dozen comments.

I don't mind it being slower bc then you get rid of the stupid trolls w/o losing people who just have a different MO, but the post requirements are hardcore (though I get why) and it slows things down.

I partially blame the twitter account. I never know when there's a new post. There's always a dump of tweets at 3am pst and none throughout the day.
