I have received complaints from readers that the blog organization has become weird. One person says that the posts no longer appear in chronological order. Another pointed out that if you are not signed in, some posts are not even visible to you.
I want to reassure everybody that this is not happening in response to anything I did. I didn’t change anything. I didn’t introduce any new settings. I’m doing exactly what I’ve always done. WordPress routinely has these moments of strange experimentation where they mess up a well-functioning system in order to justify the existence of their team of employees.
This is very annoying. I hope it goes back to normal soon. I have been wondering why some good posts receive no comments, and now I realize that people are probably not even seeing them. The logic behind the suppression of some posts by WordPress is completely incomprehensible. I haven’t added any tags to posts in a very long time, so it’s not that. If anybody observes any logic behind this madness, please let me know.

“if you are not signed in, some posts are not even visible to you.”
It is the opposite: If I am signed in, I see fewer posts. It completely baffles me that the public side would have more posts than the signed-in console, but that’s how it is, and a big part of why I don’t usually take the time to sign in, before commenting. About one post in ten…. I sign in and it’s gone. I can only access it while signed out. So weird.

Okay, that’s really weird. I have absolutely no explanation. All I know is that I’m not doing anything at all new or unusual. I’m so done with the endless fussing with the algorithm that the managers of these apps so adore.
