 So as you guys may have heard Tumblr is going to shit. A big reason for this that has been really talked about in you know Everywhere is that they're banning their 18 plus content considering that Tumblr has a history of Just completely going against its user base a lot of the systems that decisions that they've made have been very disliked by the community and They I really feel like Tumblr really doesn't They don't really care about testing things with their people They just kind of are like this is how things are going to change you guys better get used to it But the biggest reason this time is that they're deciding to ban all their 18 plus content This is huge for Tumblr because unlike all of the other changes that they've made which is something that the user base just has to kind of get used to this is Destroying a lot of their user base a lot of people go there because they're expressing their LGBTQ sexuality LGBTQ sexuality they're posting their NSFW art and a lot of people may view this as a bad thing but People go there to post their NSFW art because they're expressing themselves They're going there to post this stuff because they literally have nowhere else to post it and you can't just expect people to not Draw this you know it's it's part of who they are it's part of Who they're trying to reach out to and who they're trying to talk to you especially with the LGBTQ LGBTQ community can't speak so that's and that's a really huge issue And that's I think what the difference is with a lot of the updates that they made in the past so I Know Tumblr has rolled out a lot of these things and a lot of people are saying in the past that Tumblr would die because of it But this one I feel like could be genuine because they're getting rid of half of the people that use their website Or at least stifling them a lot and instead of taking care of the actual issue Which was getting rid of child pornography and porn bots They decided to just get rid of it all instead of actually taking the time to go in there and really fix What the real issue was they decided to just take care of the entire general sense of it And when you do that like a lot of companies do already do this they banned their NSFW content already, but they Tumblr already had it in them and to just get rid of it like that with so many of their people already being integrated into this system Is really not a good thing and I personally I've never posted NSFW art So I stay on Instagram really I don't really post on tumblr, but for the people that do you know they make their money off of this they get exposure because of this stuff that they post and It wasn't really an issue of them accidentally reaching kids because half of these people would mark their content as NSFW just so that children wouldn't see it and then eventually tumblr would go and roll through with there You have to be 18 and up in order to view this and that at first people didn't like but it was a far better decision Than just getting rid of everything that they have because now There's really nowhere else to go and I mean you have deviant art But there was this whole scandal with deviant art where they were selling their users work without giving a Many money and sort of making money off of the people that were posting Without giving them any credit so people don't even really want to go on deviant art even though you can post stuff like that stuff like that there because it's just nobody likes that platform and so people stayed on tumblr and Now they have nowhere else to go and I could be wrong about that Maybe there's a lot of websites that there are for you to be but they're not really mainstream And I don't think anything is going to change on tumblr until tumblr has a rival Which is why I partially think that they roll out a lot of things that their user base doesn't like Because they have this power nobody else is like them nobody else houses these people like they do and So they do whatever they want, but when you have a rival platform then that I think that kind of forces them to take a step back and Be like okay, our users don't like this. We can't do this But for now they're gonna do it and maybe they won't maybe with all the backlash that they've been receiving even from like big news Media like like this one right here Hopefully hopefully that will change their decision, but as of now people are kind of up in arms about it and I can understand why I can understand why tumblr did this because because they were getting losing their sponsors and got pulled off of the iOS store But they didn't correct the decision correctly.
