Tumblr’s new policy relating to adult content

[jawjateck]

I noticed the good stuff I previously enjoyed on others' tumblr is.....<poof>.....gone. My tumblr is visible. I deleted alot of pics and never posted videos, so that may be the difference. But it's effectively dead because as soon as anyone complains to tumblr about something I post for whatever reason, I'm sure they will kill it.

It’s gone. RIP

What do you mean? It is still up and accessible to everyone, it seems.

This headline still matches: The Titanic Was On Fire For Days Before The Iceberg Hit

Well, their "algorithm" scrolled through my tumblr and hid some of it from view. It's completely random what is now hidden and what is visible. Most of the hidden pics are just guys in speedos or sexy undies, or jocks, or showing some fine ass. Some of the hidden posts/pics are artistic and very tasteful, or just bare chests, even a guy draped in a US flag showing nothing. To restore them, I have to appeal each and every effected post they have flagged. They can f*** right off with that!

I’m surprised that some pretty explicit photos are still visible when I did a random audit yesterday.

Most of the tumblrs I had bookmarked now show a message saying "This Tumblr may contain sensitive media" and a link to "go to my dashboard". Is there a setting I can set saying I'm okay with "sensitive media"?

I think that's what happens to all the now-banned tumblrs.....previously, we signaled our "ok" with sensitive media by logging in to tumblr (having registered, of course), but now, well............

I haven’t found a setting but I just open those in the usual way and I see the ‘sensitive’ material.

 

It may be that I have vanilla tastes but I haven’t been affected by this change. Of course, I have seen some shocking and kinky stuff such as the Ukrainian male model Igor Kolomiyets not displaying his erect cock (as on Sean Cody) and even wearing underwear.

Well, it wasn't screwed up on Marissa Mayer's watch. She "pursued other interests" after Yahoo was purchased by Verizon to form Oath.

Tumblr’s new censorship regime is within their legal rights, but is contemptuous of their longtime users. So in the long run it will harm their brand. The same may happen to Apple for blatant sexphobic censorship in their App Store.

I followed tons of pages that feautured guys who were available. Tumblr is taking them down since Verizon took over. It seems the gestapo is cracking down everywhere.

 

Did anyone ever visit these sites? Are any still up?

 

Do you mean escorts who had pictures on tumblr/Instagram or models who were available for escorting?

 

Anyways here's a thread explaining why tumblr is not what it used to be. Would a substitute come up?

Pornhub wants to buy Tumblr and restore site to former porn-filled glory

 

Pornhub, media giant!

[Montyd]

Lots of great stuff is reappearing on my feed now. I wonder what happened?

[+ Yellowrod]

Yes I have noticed hardcore stuff keeps appearing more and more. Not complaining, as I haven’t found another worthy platform yet, but haven’t been seriously looking - I find taking a break from porn now and then is a good thing for my physical body

[TruthBTold]

I never really found that reasonably erotic stuff to have left. I had tagged some sites that I had followed and some of those are gone but then again when I find something individual pic it sometimes brings up four other pics that I like as well. And then I can follow that site (and follow it) and find some erotic photos that I can post. It also brings up some photos that our gallery would not let me post any way. So since Tumblr made its announcement I can get photos for the Gallery and manipulate myself if I feel like multitasking. Not sure what everybody else's finding is?

Absolutely right. It was Verizon that made the decision.

Verizon sells Tumblr to Wordpress owner six years after $1.1 billion deal.

 

UPDATE:

 

For those who are interested in Tumblr...Verizon has sold it.

Reports indicate Tumblr was sold for $3 million that’s an incredible plunge in value from the $1.1 billion Yahoo paid in 2013. Neither Yahoo or Verizon had a clue on how to manage this platform. It will be interesting to see what the WordPress parent company does with this asset.

With patient searching, one can still find a lot of skin on Tumblr.

My interest in a particular gent led me to his page on https://newtumbl.com/

Which is full of old-tumblr style deliciousness, but also improved in interesting ways...

[jjkrkwood]

newtumblr keeps sending me emails to "rejoin the site"...…. I took a peek, looks kinda like the old one we loved. It needs a bit more investigative work.

[uwsman2]

I’m finding tumblr inconsistent in its censorship. Some sites still have explicit stuff, others have been purged or just disappeared.
