Tumblr Reviews 

Hate that nudity was taken off. It didn't hurt anyone. I will never be on site again.

-Do you have anxiety, depression, ODC or any other mental disorders?

-People don't seem to understand that you are a pineapple with the taste of orange and that your pronounce is tree/leaf?

-Do you hate anybody that is straight and cis (also skinny)?

Then Tumblr is the place for you!

Even if you are a completely normal person, I can assure you that once you visit tumblr you will never be the same again!

I bet by now, you are thinking I am some horrible evil person who is against people with mental disabilities, LGBTQ+ community and dislikes non-binary people.

But in reality I am myself a queer! I really feel tumblr is the reason why people frown upon the LGBTQ+ community and especially non-binary people.

Being queer isn't the issue, but these people literally revolve their life around being a particular sexuality or having mental disabilities.

And then, their weird obsession with fictional characters. Yes, not all people on tumblr are like this but, the majority of them spent their life shipping fictional characters (usually making them any sexuality other than straight) and some even ship themselves with celebrities or fictional characters (yep that's tumblr for you)

Why does tumbler make unsubscribing difficult as hell? Afraid people will leave it because of shoddy service and they won’t be able to push publicity from their list of 350 advertisers to people who don’t want to see it? How large of a PM army did they employ to create an Email unsubscribe/ account deletion UX with the only purpose of making people abandon in frustration? You would think that data privacy was a thing in 2020 and pushing ads to people who don’t want it is counterproductive, as it makes you resent the platform and the advertiser.

Honestly this platform was amazing back in 2012 before it got bought over by yahoo and all those other cooperate business’s who don’t actually care about individual users but only revenue.

Had a blog with decent following and all my friends I’ve known since I was little on there (I say little but I’m 21 now); everything is gone because I reblogged something that was seen as “NSFW” to their standards; considering my blog does not have porn at all. it was just an art piece posted by someone with a realistic tone on it, I don’t even remember what it was but I liked the style of their art as I post my own there occasionally.

OP’s blog is fine though. Not mine. I don’t understand and it’s been a month with no response.

This platform has gone to utter sh*te. They said they were removing porn but they’re actually helping the growth of it. Sad.
They want to remove people who post their personal struggles on their own personal space but encourage behaviour from porn botting and hate blogs (racism etc all that stuff - been targeted by them on a old selfie of mine)

I’ve worked in tech support and I’d lose my job if I left a customer hanging like that. Not even a message from anyone. PS, the automated responses don’t actually count as help. Fix that

Been using Tumblr for more than 3 years now. Started a travel blog. Regularly post to the blog. However, there are just no followers to the blog. This is the only social media app that hasn’t got me any followers. It seems to be a dead platform. Not that I’m a big fan of it. Just created the blog to get more audience. However, Tumblr seems to have got very limited audience. Waste of time.

Cannot login to tumblr because Auth Code does not sent to my mobile and customer service unwilling to help. I can't sign up with a new account with my email and cant log in. All my saved post and memories. cant even access now. argh

I haven't been on here in a year... I briefly decided to check some of the stories I used to read and the art blogs I followed. It's all destroyed. Most of the stuff wasnt even graphic... hell, they are blocking out photos of things not at all related to sex. My own page has several locks on posts, none of which are of a sexual nature (hot damn, that calico cat is adorable, but it's sure not pornographic... if the tumblr reps want to sleep with cats, it sounds like they're the one with issues, not the users sharing cute pet photos). Several of my own photos were flagged, so apparently a pic of me in my office is banned content? They succeeded in destroying everything that made the platform wonderful. I know it's all crickets on here now, that no one is even here to read this, but indeed it's a tragedy. This was once such a vibrant happy place, now it's a totalitarian dictatorship bent on censorship of everything, even things that make no sense. I understand why everyone has moved onto other places, as I shall too (I already really did, it's been a year since I bothered with checking tumblr, and what I saw was worse than anything I could even imagine). Goodbye to what was once such a safe comforting place we sought refuge in... we have since found other spots to escape mainstream society (like reddit). I hope they enjoyed throwing away millions of dollars, from 1.1 billion to a measly 3 million... that sold for less than a vacant lot in California. Well, tumblr has joined Myspace in obscurity.

Facebook is the king of censorship and even they don't censor art or literary writing anymore. A platform should know their audience and not let apple dictate how they run their business. I think we all immediately knew they were flushing money when they made the unfortunate choice to kill the app a year ago (this affects everyone, not just artists, the GBLT community, and writers- when even photos of kittens and spools of thread are being pulled, it's a wide spread problem). Was losing nearly a billion dollars worth getting the app back in with apple? Why would it matter when no one bothers to download it anymore. The financial hit would have been far less if they'd left things as they were.

It seems to be affecting far more nonnsfw posts than those that are. They took 8 posts off my page, none of which had any inappropriate content. Ironically, they left the few that actually did (writing/stories). Think about that one for a min... their algorithm machine is a failure. If they hadn't destroyed all profitability for the site, they could have hired people to police the illegal stuff. They did all this over a very small sect of people posting illicit material, 99.9% of the nsfw content may br related to sex, but there was nothing illegal about it. They didnt need a ban, they needed closer monitoring to keep the child stuff off. They lost nearly a billion dollars, they could have used that money to hire humans vs an inept algorithm machine. Then they would have kept their users, continued making money, and they wouldnt have lost everything.

I share the opinion of others below when it comes to this website. I joined it over 5 years ago and was a part of the Sims community. (@katsujii) Everything was fine and then the NSFW ban came into place. A lot of blogs were flagged, some unnecessarily and couldn't get their blogs unflagged. October 14th, a number of my posts started going missing. When I contacted staff about the missing posts, I received an email back from someone named, "Ana" pretty much putting the blame on my browser by saying the browser cache was most likely corrupt. When I emailed her back to let her know that my browser settings are set to clear all data when the browser is closed, so a corrupt cache wasn't the case, she never responded back.
I'm one of the people who logged on in the middle of the day to see that Tumblr had deactivated my account with no warning, no emails. No reply back to my emails questioning what happened and who were the people behind these so called, "multiple DMCA violations." From what I've found out recently, 6 people from the Sims community were gone. 1 person's page got terminated a week before mine and it's still a mystery when it comes to the other 5. No one knows if they got sick of Tumblr and left or were forced out. Now people are getting threatened by outside sources while staff just sits back and let porn blogs run wild. They're letting fake blogs reblog content and insert porn links into the posts. They're letting people advertise their music on other peoples content. They don't reply to emails and their flagging system is ran by Bots. (Staff actually admitted this). Might as well have the whole website run by bots since staff clearly doesn't give a crap about it's user base anymore.

Had 6 blogs they terminated my account with no notice or warnings. Everything gone with no way to access my account. I know about their new policy and even absolutely nothing against their new policy. One of my blogs was flagged against their policy's. The blog had no nudity, no exposed genitally at all. Yet was marked as containg content not for their guidelines. If you want to post art that shows a little bit of nudity go somewhere else, but still have sex video's for you watch. They suck!!!!

unsubscibe option does not allow you to unsubscibe. just leads to a log in screen. illegal

It deleted my blog for no reason and ignored my emails when I tried to get it back. In my emails, I also asked why they deleted it for, what di I do? But they never got back to me! I hate this website now and their staff.

This site is run by a bunch of children. Blogs get deleted at random left and right for absolutely no good reason, and then the staff won’t work with you on getting it back. Every time I log on I notice more of the blogs I’m following have been “terminated”. I’m on my 5th one when I did nothing wrong and didn’t break any of the guidelines. If I didn’t make friends on there I wouldn’t even care to be on this site. Complete bs!!!

Whenever i tried to do blog post it was Very smooth experience, so far created 3 blogs updating them time to time.

the staff is incompetent and only in it for the money. After the adult content ban, pedophilia still manages to slip through, there are still porn bots, nazis and extreme right wingers are rampant, and the entire website has declined in accessibility and quality. It'd be best if they reversed the purge and actually LISTENED to their userbase instead of being greedy and tone-deaf.

Since the new ridiculous "moral reform" has occurred, nothing seems to work properly anymore. Is there still anyone behind the platform or have they all leaved, choosing a sort of euthanasia for Tumblr?...

I have not been able to access my Tumblr for a year because of problems with two-factor authentication, I contacted support several times and they simply did not even try to fix the problem.

I simply have a blog with hundreds of active followers who, because of the inefficiency of the support, do not receive any more updates from me.

Tumblr has gone to the dogs. Between an impotent purge and a nauseatingly garish dashboard, I predict a quick death within 3 months.

This entire website is an elaborate slapstick routine. First of all, the p*rnbot epidemic. If you look at the notes of ANY slightly popular post on Tumblr, there is p*rnbots all up in the notes posting infected links. Tumblr enacted an NSFW ban, I assume to combat this problem, but the p*rnbots seem to be untouched by it. I have had more p*rnbots follow me after the NSFW ban than ever before. On top of that, I've seen totally G-rated posts and users flagged as NSFW when they clearly aren't. All that said, its user base is one of its few redeeming qualities. Not necessarily because it's a good or respectable demographic of people, but rather because it never fails to deliver a unique brand of absolute ridiculousness that you just don't get on other social media platforms. It's unfortunate that Tumblr is so hellbent on alienating this user base. Then again, it's also kind of funny.

My account was terminated about three days ago and I have yet to hear a response back from the people whose job it is to fix it. I don't post nsfw content according to the guidelines, I don't spam, and I'm an actual person. I also never got any warning as to any wrong doings that would lead to me being terminated. So, short story short, the staff doesn't care about it's user base (unless you're an alt-right fanboy) and you should stay far away from this site if you can.
