More on the #2 issue, re: reblog thoughts misplaced in Tumblr's hashtag section.
I think #Tumblr users are misplacing their thoughts on things they are reblogging because of poor UI design. Look at the attached screengrab.
a. The hashtag section is more obvious than the body
b. It isn't clear that it's a hashtag section
c. When you type in the hashtag section, it automatically turn words into a hashtag
For (a): Make the body more obvious. The text that says, "Go ahead, put anything" should be prominent. Make it bold, full white.
Currently, the section "add tags" is brighter than "Go ahead, put anything".
For (b): Detach the hashtag section from the reblog interface/window. Maybe put it on the right side as a separate box, and add something like, "This is for hashtags, not your thoughts."
For (c): Remove the auto-hashtag feature. Make it a requirement to manually add the '#' sign.
If a Tumblr user still types in the hashtag section, they will get an error for every word without a '#' sign. In the error, you can then add, "Are you sure you want to add hashtags? If not, then add your thoughts in the body section." Or something similar.
#No #one #does #this #in #any #SNS #platform #because #it #is #a #hassle #to #add #a #hashtag #sign.
But in Tumblr, the auto-hashtag feature makes that easier. Removing this feature will make users think twice. If they still do it, well, nothing can be done about it. (Or, maybe they are using a script to auto-add the '#' sign.)
