Hi everyhorsey, I'm turning off reblogs temporarily (and potentially permanently) for every post except this one and this other one.

I really didn't want to have to, but I treasure my art, and Tumblr's recent decision to automatically opt blogs into AI crawling scares me. I have opted out on my blog, but I can't guarantee that other people will opt out on their blogs before reblogging. I also will not be posting after this, at least until something changes.

Tumblr @staff, you NEED to make this an opt-in feature, not opt-out. As another user pointed out, opting people in by default is very likely a GDPR violation.

Similar things have happened on other websites. For example, DeviantArt opted its users into AI crawling automatically, and they got in serious hot water with their userbase.

Eventually, they switched to opting users out automatically, but the damage was done. Countless users had their artwork scraped for AI generation, and this was a violation of trust that broke the camel's back for many users... Including me.

You cannot abuse your userbase like this and expect that there will be no consequences. You cannot say one thing and do another. I'll give you a month, and if nothing changes, I'll pack my bags and leave.

Also, if you have multiple blogs, you have to do this PER BLOG!!!

Highly suggest everyone turn this on; I've just been informed that it exists. It's under Blog settings > Visibility on desktop
