Are Likes on Tumblr Private? Let’s Find Out!
Ah, the mysterious world of Tumblr likes. You know, those cute little hearts we hit out of sheer excitement for someone’s post. But the question remains: are those likes private? Well, hold onto your keyboard because we’re diving into this digital rabbit hole!
When you hit the heart button on a Tumblr post, it doesn’t just vanish into the ether of the internet. No, my friend, those likes are tied to your account—like a dog to a leash. Noticed those “likes” pages with URLs like yourtumblrname.tumblr.com/likes? Well, guess what? That’s your personal playground where all your adored bits of content reside. If someone knows your URL, they can go there and feast their eyes on what you’ve claimed as your favorites. Yikes, right?
But Wait, There’s More!
If you’re feeling a little sneaky and want to keep those likes under wraps, office style, there’s a nifty trick for that too. Simply head over to your Dashboard settings, find the preferences section, and turn off “include posts liked by the blogs you follow.” Boom! You just threw a blanket over your likes, hiding them from prying eyes faster than you can say “Tumblr is life.”
Now, if you’re a tech-savvy type and you want a deeper dive into what your likes say about you, here’s a cheeky little hack:
- Go to your likes page: yourtumblrname.tumblr.com/likes.
- View the source code (Ctrl + U or navigate through your menu, depending on your browser).
- Copy all that code into a plain text format and save it as whateveryouwant.html.
- Open a “private browsing” window and drag that file in. Voilà! You see all your likes but with a twist—they won’t be linked to your account. Sneaky, right?
In the grand scheme of things, while likes can be visible to those who have your Tumblr URL, a couple of strategic settings can help you keep them under wraps if you so desire.
