Vint70s-Lvr: They broke the mold after this one. Jack was a beautiful porn god. Large muscular stature, handsome face, and legendary cock. My only wish was that he was a more frequent and enthusiastic top, but he clearly enjoyed being fucked by some of the hottest men of the 70s porn scene.
Sounds drastic. Especially for content creators who may still need Tumblr for commissions while they find an alternative.
If you can swing it, here’s why:
I suspect that the December 17th deadline is so that Verizon/Yahoo can clean house and make Tumblr appealing to investors. This is a Q4/Q1 fire sale kind of thing. It makes a certain amount of business sense to make this change. Human-lead content curation (e.g. separating the CP from the legit) is expensive and time-consuming. I doubt they have the money for it. They already sold off Flickr. As a long-time Flickr pro user, I’m not pleased by the change and increase in pro account price, but I get it.
Investors are looking for a user base. User base is a prime attraction for investment or buy-out for a social media platform or application (I speak from experience as a co-founder of Rhinobird.tv).
Every account that is cancelled will be one less account in Tumblr’s user base for their pitch. I assume that there are millions of accounts with some percentage simply being abandoned accounts that haven’t been used in years. So cancelling one’s account on the way out the door won’t really matter unless the number of cancelled accounts reaches several hundred thousand at least.
If you decide to leave and cancel, then I also recommend sending a polite message to Tumblr staff, or tweet to the account about why you are leaving.
Finally, using Twitter to voice your concerns and thoughts about this issue will increase its visibility. They ain’t gonna like that. Media outlets that cater to tech entrepreneurs, and Silicon Valley types are going to be all over this.
I never ask for reblogs, but I will this one time.
(Well DONE, Tumblr! You’ve managed to complete fucking yourselves up! Now… is the problem going to be fixed soon? Maybe… tomorrow? No? Okay, fuck you then!)
First one was today, second was from fucking yesterday!
Tumblr is banning the only good LGBTQ+ NSFW content that doesn’t fetishize us for the CisHets. So I decided that since tumblr is going to trash that I will leave to reduce their “ad revenue” they want so much with a “clean” site.
Fuck you Tumblr, and fuck your cowardly excuse of a reaction to some of the bullshit on your platform. Punishing everyone, because you’re to lazy and incompetent to properly moderate material posted?….. FUCK YOU
