Forums - General Discussion - Tumblr Is Tumbling Past the Point of No Return

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)

Hmm, traffic to this site went down a lot after the avatars and nsfw for work threads were cleaned up ;)

I've heard of the site, but have never been there. What is it, exactly?

And before anyone posts a lmgtfy comment....I've already done that.  I know it's a social media thing of some sort.  But, what makes it special?  

It was a social media site that was in the same design as a blogging network users could even have multiple blog like pages on a single account the site until the change in terms allowed freedom of expression as long as someone didn't go too extreme because of this it became popular with not just people dabbling in nsfw content but also artists, modders, gamers etc...

Skyrim modders for example used it to create their own personal space for their own mods giving them an alternative to hosting on modding sites like Nexus.

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.

Nah, the algorithm is working fine. Those are pics of some sexy chairs. Totally NSFW

Guess that's it for Tumblr, can't just ban something like that if that is what a majority is using for.

They deserved nothing but bad news. Why would you do that when stats says that was the only reason why your service is still running today.



Pocky Lover Boy!

There was porn on it. Now, it is indeed nothing special.



Signature goes here!

Many gamers are there posting game stuff and photos. I have a blog there with gaming content, but actually I never really liked the tumblr app and the site, i don't like its interface very much. So much negativity round them now that I'm thinking about leaving. but i don't know where should i put my gaming content. on tumblr there are many gamers and the community is quite nice.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?


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.



Lol, pulling out the carpet beneath their own feet there, just about the only thing that made tumblr different was the stupendous amount of NSWF content on it. They're fucked now, which is kinda ironic, since removing others being fucked from their services will have led to their downfall...
