Web Clipper vs Tumblr

I wanted to save a few of useful tumblr posts to obsidian with the obsidian web clipper.

Tumblr two ways to view posts: the original blog view (url.tumblr.com/...) and the mobile view (tumblr.com/url/...). All works well with the blog view, but many users have it disabled. The mobile view is where I get this issue.

I can't get the web clipper to automatically name files anything other than "Post by x-user" by using the {{title}} variable, even though the site's source shows the post's title as the page's title:

And the only place the "Post by x-user" appears in the source is here:

Am I missing something?
