Time to setup some private blogs and tell your followers where to go

[Busty2]

Thanks Chump !

[ruff]

I imagine that will finally kill off Tumblr. So who cares?

[magneto664]

Who cares?

[NoWhErE]

Hopefully nobody invested too much time into building their Tumblr network.

[Bladewire]

Platforms always fuck over porn in the end, always.

Platforms are about controlling speech, not freedom of speech I've been saying this for over a decade now.

[overdose]

kill off tumblr? lol, their traffic is quite stable... only people who say such things are the ones who are butthurt that they can't spam their xxx shit anymore on tumblr it's the last place where I would go for adult content

[patadeperro]

Rip Tumblr... Tumblr without porn is like a party with no alcohol... you can go but you know it won't be fun.

I would give them 3.50

Sucks ass, I had few big ones there....not sure what to do with them now...maybe send them to a copy @ Twitter ?

[Silver_Shamrock]

This is pretty unfortunate.

Tumblr was such a great resource for finding tons of traffic and a great stream of revenue for affiliate links. I've built up backlinks for websites that go back years and years through them. Getting connected with amateur content makers was super easy, too.

Also, this move is just absolutely stupid for their business model. Practically everyone that I know uses Tumblr more than anything else for their porn consumption. This move is just going to completely kill off what Tumblr is.

I guess now it's all going to migrate over to Reddit or…?

[JesseQuinn]

meh, every service out there uses sex workers to get popular then ditches us once they get entrenched, it's a fun and lucrative game for everyone but those trying to ethically sell adult long term.

I suspect the 2257 issue is a significant factor in this decision, that and those who use services for dine and dash spamming crap expecting to get axed. No one wants to see endless ads anywhere. Unless it's on TNT JA which helps me learn Spanish

But about the 2257 issue, I remember I took a pic in 2014 (right before I left Canada, my boxes for shipping were all artfully arranged behind me) for a client after a session where my hair was slicked back with sweat, face glistening with same and the way the cam caught me the end result made me look 12.

I was born in the 70's, I don't look 12 and didn't then, it was just a play of light off a sweaty face*. Plus I felt good so the jaded bitterness of enduring life for decades had temporarily left my eyes

(*sorry, I meant dewy, only horses sweat)

I never posted that pic anywhere other than my own site where it is really clear I am not a child, and even then I eventually took it down as I wasn't sure if that was a healthy or responsible thing to put out there, for anyone

Social media is filled with stuff with NO age verification, how can you ever tell how old someone is in a pic or gif? Women in high fashion magazines are often children, some as young as 15 and they are dressed and made up to look like an idealized 20 year old.

I've never relied on free sources of traffic as someone in adult for anything expecting it to endure. It can't.

But yeah, they do use us and cast us off to create a 'safe community'. all of them, same with processing systems like paypal or gr

Truth is, despite this really bullshit recurring phenomenon I can see tumblr's reasoning. no way would I let that stuff (adult content without 2257 docs) appear on a website I own. It's not responsible.

Not a big loss for me as I have ignored my tumblrs for years and really only ever hit with two niches that I do much better with elsewhere.

Hope that's the same for most.

Next

[djroof]

I think that Instagram too did something like that and delete many adult accounts

I am going to answer to you because I think we should elevate the type of discussions the forum has.... and most of the people come here just to troll....

If I were you this is what I would do:

a) Get a bunch of free domains (yes they exist at least for a year)

b) Move your tumblr to that domain.

c) Make a 301 from all the urls your tumblr have to the new domain.

d) Re estart your PBN.

e) extre points if you go out right now and buy for cents the tumblrs that will be available now that people see the sky is falling

Thank me latter.

Thanks for the information!

>>b) Move your tumblr to that domain.

You mean use their "use my own domain"

>>c) Make a 301 from all the urls your tumblr have to the new domain.

Not sure how to do this one ? Can you explain bit more how to do it ?

What I loved about Tumblr, is all the reblogs from other tumblr blogs...I can't believe their doing this. Who's gonna use Tumblr now - fans of cats in space photos, artsy cartoons maybe ?

hahahha, good comparison :P

[RycEric]

good riddance

[thirdworldxxx]

R.I.P. tumblr

[AdultKing]

This won't hurt Tumblr in the long run.

There's a lot of porn on Tumblr but as a proportion of total content on the platform it's smaller than most commenters in this thread think.

[King Mark]

Tumblr sucks anyway

Me too really. At one point I was planning on launching an entire network on it. Thankfully I stuck to Wordpress.

Most of the big players moved on to AI-powered bots on Tinder and Grinder.

Not to mention, IG botting

How do you 301 a Tumblr link?

[TheAccountant]

An alternative is already under development. Stay tuned ... around 15th ...

[datingbanking]

I guess everybody (surfers) will be moving to twitter.

Twitter is already porn for orally incontinent men anyway

More reinforcement that the left are the new puritans.

Tumblr was never intended to be a porn site.

Like most platforms porn migrated to it. Like most platforms porn has been removed from it.

I think this is a good thing.

Porn should be limited to porn sites, sites which have been established for adults.

Despite assertions otherwise, Porn is a small percentage of overall Tumblr content. Tumblr, through it's apps is stronger now that porn is going. They'll be accepted on App Stores without an issue once porn is gone. Moderation will be simpler and the platform's strengths will outweigh the loss of porn.

[NatalieK]

if this is happening, will the other social medias follow, fb is no nudity, twitter, the account needs to be marked as adult. I take it twitter´s next!

Twitter should get rid of porn, it would reduce the moderation cost of the platform. However unlike Tumblr, Twitter has a mostly working sensitive content filter, so unless you specifically opt in or follow porn related accounts it can be hard to stumble across porn on Twitter.

[datingbanking]

It's an opportunity for someone to create a new platform, I have no doubt people somewhere in Montreal are already on it ready to fill it with 300x250 banners :-)

[j3rkules]

I am not surprised at all. I stopped invested the time into building the Tumblr blogs years ago.

[Denny]

Never used it.

[Bladewire]

I had a huge Tumblr with over 130k followers for a little over 2 years, then BOOM! Tumblr pulled the plug. Platforms are evil

Pulled the plug past tense, or now?

If past tense, what happened?

Once you get big your competitors report you regularly for non violations and it's only a matter of time before they get a lazy admin that blocks you without 2 thoughts once you get blocked it's hard to get someone else to look at it and reverse it. Fuck Tumblr

[AdultKing]

One interesting thing to come out of this is seeing Tumblr try to use automated moderation tools so badly.
