Yeah, this was predicted by everyone, long in advance. The surprising thing here is how long they’ve managed to cling to life. I expected them to be deceased by now. I didn’t think they’d last another three years, let along five.
Comment on Tumblr is reportedly on life support as its latest owner reassigns staff

We tried to warn you, yet you banned the porn anyways.

Verizon banned porn. The new owners have turned more of a blind eye to it.
I know, hard to keep up with all the different owners and their individual policies.

They didnt really try to.
A lot of the new money making features were half assed, and got abandoned pretty quickly after release. Lots of users who wanted to support them have complained that they seem to not want the money.

They’ve also added features no one wants. For example, the recent “Tumblr Live” nonsense, which is basically Twitch meets Shorts. It’s at the top of your feed and you can’t permanently turn it off - you can turn it off for what was a week, then a month. They wasted money and time to get that feature going, one that you also cost a lot because hosting video isn’t cheap, when NO ONE goes to tumblr to look at random cam girls.

Lol, never used Tumblr, but that sounds terrible. I hate how they want to change all social media to the exact same thing, instead or leaving us with different choices.

They honestly didn’t have a choice at the time. They were either going to have to completely moderate content, or get sued to bankruptcy for allowing CSAM all over their platform.
The double-edged sword of user-generated content is that a bunch of them are creeps and not participating to be creative.

Speaking of bans, does anyone know what happens with
community ban, is that forever or do they give you a cooloff time or what? I still get notifs, just can’t respond to anythingUndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 10 months ago
“Community ban” as in you’re banned from a community? Unless the mods set a specific duration, it’s perpetual. If you think you are banned from a community check the mod log or ask the moderators.

I audibly snorted when OnlyFans was going on about this the first time around
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 10 months ago
When onlyfans said they were going to stop allowing porn. I was like wait, wut? You’re going to shut down your own product?

At least OF came to their senses and they’re still thriving.

I almost wonder it was a guerilla marketing success story in terms of that whole debacle. Like i don’t think they were hit with anything but derision and snark.
