These are a few of pieces of my art I have here in my gallery that have been flagged today.
This, this is the kind of things people are dealing with in the wake of Tumblr’s new rules. It’s not about a “better” experience for the users. Tumblr has ignored bots and problems for years. It’s not even about porn or nudity. It’s about a blanket algorithm flagging any and all things (robots, rooms, food, words, anything, etc.) in order to control content to help advertisers (and the like) to feel “safe” giving $money$ to Tumblr.
Like other sites, they allowed users to make and share content to grow the site and now that they are big enough they want to cater to the cash not the user.
So users, all users, will have to jump through more hoops to share their content to reach a shrinking audience. My pics above are now on “review”. I had to find the flagged images (that have been up for months, maybe a year or more), I had to ask for a review of the image, I have to wait and see what happens next.
This new policy is not about “adult content”, that’s just a way to frame it to make it sound like a reasonable thing to the people with cash Tumblr is trying to make happy. It’s a blanket algorithm for everyone posting here. It’s all content, it’s control, it’s cash.
But you don’t have to take my word for it. Look around, see what’s being flagged, see the impact it’s already having. Food blogs, people taking about chronic pain issues, LGBTQ sites, art sites etc.
I’m curious to see how it plays out but I’ve yet to see a site use an “algorithm” in a way that ever benefited the users. Somehow it always benefits the advertisers. Weird that way huh.
For the time being though, gonna wait and see how things go. Still keeping this account up, but with a watchful eye on things. If this site goes (no) tits-up then please check out my work at some other places:
