RIP. It's going to take something really special for the service to recover from this, although I suspect this move was known to be risky and taken because, as far as I know, Tumblr hasn't been doing too well. That is, taking a new approach might be seen as a chance to turn the tide, as risky as it is. I really doubt they have what it takes to make this work though.

Seems like they're possibly doing this because of Apple.

Women are great but there is a small group of beta people out there trying to turn the Internet into a puritan anti sex anti men environment and it sucks T_T
They people want to claw your eyes out if you oike seeing a pic of drawn boobs

I'm expecting Tumblr to downscale or close up shop in the next few years.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Tumblr has banned all NSFW content, which is what made up most of it's userbase, and it's algorithm is only making things worse.

Now it's getting to the point that anything, and I mean ANYTHING, is being falsely flagged as pornography, hate speech, etc. Tumblr is basically a sinking ship, and with similar bullshit happening on DeviantArt and maybe YouTube, where are the artists of ACTUAL NSFW stuff gonna go?

All this because Tumblr is run by complete idiots who don't give a flying fuck about their site's userbase.

No. I really can't blame them for doing what they're doing because if I understand correctly, the Tumblr app from the iStore was banned because somebody reported accessing child pronography through Tumblr. So it's a short-term smart business move. As long as it's handled correctly, it should serve them  better in the long term. Would you want child pronography to be associated with your place of business?

They just keep consuming their own popularity.

Exactly my thoughts. I am devastated.😭😂

No, what's really fucked up is that their fucking dumb as hell algorithm is flagging innocent content as NSFW.

No one goes to Tumblr for innocent content

I had no idea that so many people used Tumblr for sex stuff. Only today did I learn that a lot of sex workers used it for their business. What in the world? Why? Is everything on the internet related to sex? (Except this site)

There was a time that I tried... and got banned a few time.

It seems some of the artists using the platform to promote their work are already seeing their blog being shut down even before the deadline they had to back up their files.
