Unquestionably Another Platform with Echo Chamber Censorship to Benefit Brainwashing Corporate Oligarchs Yahoo! has destroyed the artistic freedom in this platform and turned it into a regressive place that plays everything safe. So, there is no more adult content that artists made for expressing themselves. Users get banned for no reason because of dumb bots. They cannot retrieve their banned accounts' data. All of their pictures, comments, and textual posts get removed once those accounts get banned as a result. Which is why Tumblr has become a draconian witch hunt platform. There are people who have left Tumblr because their accounts get banned for no reason and they don't have the original amount of artistic freedom on it anymore. It has become a sad place with people walking on eggshells because of self-censorship.

Not what it once was! They were taken over by Yahoo who promised not to "screw it up", then changed their terms relating to adult content - purging many NSFW blogs, rather than tackling the same problems that face all social media platforms. Since then there's been an exodus of people who have abandoned the website.

Pros and cons Best filtering site when it comes to stuff. The filters are specific, you either block the tags or the content itself. Other art and posting blog sites aren’t that good with filters, you either block a few at a time or somehow something disgusting gets past those filters.

Going rapidly downhill Used to be a great site for passing the time, sharing memes etc. Now: an utter UX disaster. The new Recommended posts insert themselves into your dashboard right at the top - getting in the way of all the stuff you actually subscribe to. The recommendations are also completely inappropriate at times. I've lost count of the number of times I clicked "This Post particularly sucks" - Tumblr somehow finds a way to continue supplying content I dislike. The less said about the recent Oath policy requirements the better

Ridiculously bad unless you're a terrible human being Clearly run by an incompetent old boys club, this site promised a lot then slowly sank into a quagmire of impossible standards, unless however you are a porn bot, literal nazi or peadophile. These being the only communities thriving anymore. It's long since time that whoever tried running this site took the time to learn how normal human beings worked, then added code to work FOR them rather than against them. Please make note of all the staff named as working for Tumblr and make a mental note NEVER to let them near a computer in future.
