Pointless Pools

The artist numbered the posts, so I think it's fine to keep.

It looks like they also stopped numbering them after 100, though ... so I figure that makes the pool either much less important or significantly more so, depending on how much folks care about posting order—and how well it gets curated to maintain said order.

After 100, they started using those circled numbers, so they still have order. It doesn't seem to include unnumbered images.

pool #20006

genshin_impact -pool:20006 male_focus ~alhaitham_(genshin_impact) ~cyno_(genshin_impact) ~kaveh_(genshin_impact) ~sethos_(genshin_impact) ~tighnari_(genshin_impact) ~wanderer_(genshin_impact): 7925 results

pool's meant as a group pool, like the archon pool (which is mostly useless imo)
it was (presumably) created cause alhaitham-kaveh-cyno-tighnari often appear together and are a very close friend group in canon
of course you're gonna get nearly 8k results of the guys just by themselves

If I change it to genshin_impact -pool:20006 male_focus ~alhaitham_(genshin_impact) ~cyno_(genshin_impact) ~kaveh_(genshin_impact) ~sethos_(genshin_impact) ~tighnari_(genshin_impact) ~wanderer_(genshin_impact) multiple_boys -2boys, 495 results. Though I guess that does make sense - it's just the pool doesn't really do a good job of highlighting that exact use case (a close friend group), you kind of have to assume from just the posts, and that's a good way to get it polluted instead of curated.

ETA: 418 if you add -multiple_persona because of Scaramouche.
