How has the porn ban affected this social media service since then?

Is Tumblr struggling or they still don't care

Can't remember who bought Tumblr, but last I heard they were trying to resell it for about 1/1,000th of what they paid for it.

I loved all the fan art. NSFW or not. But for some reason, the adult content ban seemed to have taken all the good SFW stuff too

Tumblr lost about 1/3 of its population after the ban.

Wait, there is?
Last I recall, most of the SFM porn is still there, but it's login-gated which utterly murders total views.
There's workarounds, but why bother when the "good stuff" filters out to porn tubes within an hour or so?

Tumblr didn't die. Content creators like Shen and that Adam Tots guy still draw comics and post them on the platform, and while at least one mutual follower of mine left the platform in the wake of the "Tumblrpocalypse", a vast majority of people in my social circle didn't.

The company behind WordPress bought Tumblr for an undisclosed amount. It's undoubtedly smaller than Yahoo's $1.1 billion dollar acquisition, to the point that it wouldn't surprise me if Yahoo lost a cool $1 billion in the transaction. They're planning to reform the place to try and make it profitable, or at least result in less of a loss - Tumblr is a notorious money sink.

People still post on there. The bots are still there, rendering the fuck ban completely useless, and the fuck ban is indeed still in place to some degree. NSFW creators get by though, they're just marked with a special avatar and you have to consent to viewing their blog due to adult content.

But here's a figure for you. In the last couple of weeks, there's been this new meme post I've seen spring up dozens of times. First time I saw it it was a low 4 figures, now it's a mid/high five figures. There are enough people left to drive post clout at a pretty decent rate. It's not Instagram numbers, but Tumblr never was.

In case anyone thought I was joking or over-exaggerating, I looked it up. Yahoo purchased Tumblr for $1.1 billion. Roughly a year after the porn ban, the creator of WordPress bought it from Yahoo for less than $3 million.

Because tumblr enforced the ban with a shitty bot that flagged a bunch of regular pictures and art. I think they've properly tuned it since then as I don't hear about it anymore, but the damage is done.
