Tumblr Shitstorm Thread - Now Female-Presenting-Nipple-Free... We Think

Personally I hope it dies a death as a warning to everyone else whose this lazy and complacent about their product.

This sort of shit has happened on multiple sites throughout internet history, Livejournal being the most outstanding example in relevance to the current Tumblr issue. Nobody ever learns shit from their mistakes when it comes to online businesses. They just blame it on someone else or something nebulous and everyone moves on to a fresh idea to mismanage.
 
A lot of modern day mega-sites have pretty much stopped listening to their userbase overall. Tumblr is obvious, as is Youtube what with crappy bots going around and messing everything up.
DeviantArt and FurAffinity have absolutely trash moderator and administrative teams and the sites have a myriad of problems.
Twitter and Facebook have no idea what they're doing at all.
Fuck even a forum like ResetEra with a rather obviously easy to pander to userbase, barely listens to them.

You'd think the key to long-lasting success is good customer relations and giving people what they want but for some reason in this age of the Internet, websites don't give half a shit about any of that. It boggles the mind because at any moment, the next big site can pop up and make any of these a new MySpace. They may be big now but MySpace and LiveJournal were big too and look where they are now.

It's the Optimist Bias. They all are on the top of their hill of popularity and no one on the top of the hill of popularity ever bothers to think about that they're going to start coming down the other side and land in the garbage dump next to places like MySpace and Livejournal. Their success gives them a rose tinted, smokescreened view on their userbase and profit margin that makes them believe that "Well, sure, it happened to other sites, but look at us. We're at the top of our game! That couldn't possibly happen to us."

The height of popularity, I think, is the most delicate time for a social networking site. You either make it or break it when you reach that point, and more often than not websites tend to break it.
 
Let's dismiss the notion that Facebook and Twitter don't know what they're doing. They know exactly what they're doing.
 
You know, I have to say...a few days in, and (besides the false flagging crap and some tags probably still not having content), not much has actually changed. The few NSFW blogs I follow are still there, still posting content. It seems like they might be choosing some tamer things, but I'm also still seeing straight-up full frontal on my dash, and about the same amount of tiddy. Nobody seems to give a single fuck, and I think that's hilarious.
 
So hey--fun new development: Apparently, pornbots are hacking in-use accounts and posting fairly normal pictures of women with links that go to porn sites. This shit just keeps getting better and better.
 
LOL at the lazy fucks at Tumblr who thought that locking the explicit toggle was going to be the solution to the rampant CP and pornbots.

Double LOL for them thinking that porn bots weren't going to find workarounds right away.
 
Pornbots are already just using 'link' posts which display a link and show some kind of image preview to show the same explicit images they'd have previously made photo posts. In fact, Tumblr's made pornbots more efficient because the image and the spam link are grouped together now, so there's no need for the bot to post an image and put a link in the caption.

I thought they de-tagged any post with a link in it because of this.

Well, this is only a fairly recent revelation (the hacking, that is). They don't just type out a link, but add it to the text. I don't know if tumblr staff still untagging posts with links, given many users' complaints that they can't link to their patreons or to GoFundMe fundraisers and whatnot.

It's these kinds of posts, one of the main post types. I doubt tumblr would detag an entire type of posts, unless they mean to remove link posts entirely because of this.

Like I said before, I think the biggest change is that this new system has simply made posting more of a hassle by including extra steps and precautions to keep posts from being flagged, and possibly require re-posting when the algorithm inevitably fucks up. Granted, this can still kill a website - the more annoying something is to use, the less inclined people are to default to it after all - but it'll definitely be a much slower death than what some people were predicting.

I'm mostly curious as to how this will effect the current posting etiquette on Tumblr, and how the more hyper-sensitive Tumblrinas will react to this. The current system has basically rendered most tags r34 artists would use as a courtesy for those who want to blacklist such content obsolete, so they'll likely start posting with either generic tags or specifically misleading ones to avoid Tumblr's screenings. I've already seen people (and of course bots) using this technique, so it's only a matter of time we see some people who were glad to see the porn go start REEEEing about being "exposed" to nips.
 
It's funny how Tumblr can still find entirely innocent posts as nsfw, some of my friend's posts are flagged for no reason, but porn (even child porn) is still being circulated everywhere. Good job Tumblr.

Is there even a point in using the website even if you're a SFW blog if the majority of your posts are going to be flagged? There will still be loyal users lying around, but this has been hitting way more than just NSFW blogs.
 
They ought to kick them back off the App Store since they've done nothing about the porn.
