It seems like my magick has been for naught. Tumblr has officially decided to ban all adult content. They have put the gun to their head and decided to pull the trigger. When a company makes a decision like this, it’s usually pretty hard to make them back down. Not that it isn’t worth a try. Tumblr will obviously lose thousands of users, and not just the porn blogs. As of right now, I’m not sure what I am going to do. Shutting the door on sex-workers really sticks in my craw, but I have built a large following here, and it has value.
I would love to hear other people’s thoughts on this. Do we try to save it? Do you have any good ideas?
I believe that tumblr is a unique social media venue. Nothing seems to work quite like tumblr, and I appreciate its versatility. I think we should definitely have a tumblr black-out on December 17th. No one use tumblr on that day, and they are going to see what they are missing. But it needs to go further than that. I am open to suggestions. Start contacting advertisers? They are the ones probably pushing for this in the first place. Apple is also a huge problem, as tumblr needs to be in their app store, and they are complete assholes about adult content.
