Lolo Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I follow many things there, starting from my Football Team, to Old postcards, to Soviet art, to fan fics, to Vintage Fashion and more... anything really. But I only really discovered it after porngate. Quote
VogueMusic Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Uh, Porn was definitely NOT a tiny part of tumblr. Not an active part...I don't think so. Quote
LHakaLH Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 LMAO y'all went really to tumblr to search for porn gifs, like not even full videos. Lighten TF up there's still xtube, youporn, gayforit and pornhub Quote

Lighten TF up there's still xtube, youporn, gayforit and pornhub The adult content on tumblr wasn't really about just gifs, let alone videos. It was mostly uncensored pics, individual stuff not made by pro studios, erotic literature, actual open discussion about sex/sexuality issues, etc... there were some really cool people there too. The fact that most of it was pretty much uncensored in the way so many other social media platforms won't allow was what made the difference - and is what the issue is really about. Quote

dylanciccone_ Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Just ban and charge all the morons who were uploading illegal pornography of children. They've been doing something similar on YouTube videos timestamping regular kids videos. It's disgusting those people ruin things for people for their criminal activities. Quote

That's exactly what most people were asking for - create a system or dept. that can get rid of the porn bots who upload this horrific garbage, while leaving the rest alone. I believe other sites have done such (or so I've heard), but Tumblr just took the lazy approach and banned it all to get back on the Apple app store. Quote
jonski43 Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 After the ban, they lost 150 million visits in a quarter. A third of their traffic. https://hypebeast.com/2019/3/tumblr-traffic-dropped-by-150-million-adult-content-ban Adult content is still on the site but they block other people from seeing what you've uploaded. Hard to see how they will compete with instagram now. Quote

These loss making businesses that sell for billions. I don't get why Tumblr didn't just reverse their decision. Twitter's full of the stuff and they don't care. Quote
