Everyone on tumblr rn

A former staff engineer, who recently left Tumblr and asked to remain anonymous for professional reasons, tells Vox that the NSFW ban was “in the works for about six months as an official project,” adding that it was given additional resources and named “Project X” in September, shortly before it was announced to the rest of the company at an all-hands meeting. “[The NSFW ban] was going to happen anyway,” the former engineer told me. “Verizon pushed it out the door after the child pornography thing and made the deadline sooner,” but the real problem was always that Verizon couldn’t sell ads next to porn.

Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure out how to better monetize.

On that note-

Two former Tumblr employees said they were alarmed when Khalaf chose Black Lives Matter as an example of a community that the company should focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge, “Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to [make] a ton of money.”

the sad part is that this bot problem would have probably been fixed pretty fast if they just added a captcha

Dear DMs,

if your players keep trying to seduce various and sundry unlikely NPCs, let them, but make them do lots of difficult constitution saving throws.

What do you think of Newgrounds?

Never thought the website I used to watch shitty video game sprite parody animations when I was in elementary school would be a potential alternative to tumblr, but… here we’ve come.

I think we need to start accepting that we do not matter to @staff. We do not matter to Tumblr’s CEOs. We do not matter to Verizon. They care about money. They care about their image. They will not listen to us. They will not change things. I am absolutely positive they will let Tumblr go up in flames to keep money in their pockets. They do not care about us and we should really start to consider that fact.

Reblog to show your support for NSFW Artists, who deserve better than having their art censored/removed because of a badly thoughtout idea

Apparently the NSFW Ban

Was always intended.  It was going to happen regardless because Oath/Verizon don’t think anyone wants to advertise on a site with porn on it.  This is probably why they didn’t bother handling the porn bots and CP, since for the last 6-12 months they’ve been working to scrub the site either way.

Only then Apple took them off the app store, pushing up their timeline.

This was done for advertising reasons. Which also means this isn’t going to stop either.  Give it 6 months and there’ll be some hit piece on Tumblr by whatever news outlet and they’ll purge something else.  What will it be?  LGBT themes?  Political discussion?  Copyrighted material (Fandoms)?

In the quest for more money, Verizon made it clear.  Nothing is above sacrificing for the ad revenue.  Don’t get comfy.  You’ll be next.

Oh I almost forgot to trash talk Tumblr.

my anxiety: “what if someone slipped you hallucinogenic drugs and you’re actually in walmart right now pissing in the middle of the store?” 

me: “…we’ll confront that problem when we come to it”

Tumblr goes down in hellfire, millions lost, tumblr housing market crashes, Terminator bots rampant. Little did they know, one simple thing could fix it all:

Me: Tumblr Should Have Perished Years Ago.

Also Me: I Need This Site So I Can Yell About My Current All-Consuming Interest Of The Month, Because If It Were, In Fact, Deleted, I Would Be Strangled Within Minutes For The Greater Good.
