That was legit like the only place to find the adult content that interested me.

Honestly have no idea where to turn to now...

RIP Tumblr and porn blogs. Feel bad for anyone who was using Tumblr as a platform for selling their nudes and shit now. I'm sure it's gonna hurt adult performers financially.

Man my tumblr got some weird flags already.

Concept art. Cats. Simpsons videos.

This shit is busted. This is like they're burning down the house because they saw a spider.

ugh, I wonder if any good replacement will come along anytime soon? So much for a place where artists, LGBT+, fandoms, etc can openly express themselves.

This seems like a really misguided decision.
If a pornsite bans porn, what's the point of the site anymore?

That's what they want. A place where they can say and share all the bigoted, sexist, racist, vile shit and plan attacks on progressives and "SJWs" without reproach. It Tumblr's afraid of hosting child pornography, just wait until the collective of incels and women haters get a hold of the site to post their gross fantasies about child sex slaves.

Doesn't matter. They'll still act like it's a win for them and a loss for the "SJWs" and "degenerates" alike.

That's true :/ Yahoo will probably end up shutting the site down since they've drove away 90% of their userbase

I'm assuming this is also due to Tumblr being the new goto social media site to openly advertise prostitution.

Well we knew this was going to happen eventually after Yahoo bought them, the question was always "when".
Considering many independent models relied on Tumblr this is going to be quite a blow. Hopefully they can find somewhere else to land.

So.... why did Yahoo buy a website just to remove one of the main features, thus decrease traffic?

This is Verizon's doing not Yahoo. Yahoo sold them 2017.

A number a SFW blogs I follow are also getting mass flagged because of this. There's definitely going to be a mass exodus of artist from that site.

a funny side effect is now my twitter feed is flooded with NSFW artists boosting other NSFW artists

I forgot about the insanely low the API rate limit for Tumblr is so scraping blogs will take a while.

In a year, tumblr will become a news aggregate. Like a certain site that preceded reddit.

Damn, this sucks. Not going to lie, queer porn on Tumblr is something I've used to help me accept myself and my body. This is a huge loss.

I wonder why they became so ashamed of their deviantart identity. Now they have no identity. It's like when McDonalds introduces expenwive upscale burgers.

I don't use tumblr very much anymore but this is pretty sad news. There were a lot of fantastic adult-oriented blogs on Tumblr. Like... good people that happened to create/share porn. The site already had a filter for adult content too. I heard that Apple kicked them off of the app store or something because there was legit child porn on their site. So this is their reaction to that? They need that Apple money so instead of getting a better moderation system in place they're just going to nuke everything. Fuck all the communities and bloggers that did nothing wrong. Cool.
