i regularly post gen memes and all the ones i've been tossing up have had a fair amount of tags

people bitching about not getting tags/memes not getting posts haven't the self-awareness to realize they should do anything different. change up the formula. pick a meme that isn't the same bullshit that's been posted weekly for the past year. don't dump all twenty of your characters in top levels and actually tag other people. if someone says they want crosscanon or ota, take them at their word, jesus h christ
