Who cares about Tumblr. There are plenty of other sites to get the good stuff without hassle anyway. For me Tumblr died back in 2011 when I discovered better sites. A lot of content on Tumblr is taken from other sources anyway. I'm surprised Tumblr didn't kill itself ages ago.

I hope this site burns to the ground after Dec 17. I wonder how many people actually goes to tumblr for nsfw contents?
I totally forgot that tumblr even exists until recently. It used to be my go to site for NSFW content until 4 years ago.

A lot of great artists used tumblr as their primary platform: InCase, Erotibot, Calm, Witchking00, Cute Sexy Robutts, to name a few. Also some people with games posted here or who have had their art comissioned for games use it too, like Chelodoy and Syvaron.

I know a lot of people have taken their stuff down already, but if you would like to rip some blogs before they go down, this tool does a really good job of it. You can filter out videos and gifs and text posts, or reblogs, and it also automatically excludes duplicates. It's really great tool and I'll be putting it to really good use in the next few days =P.

Here, here too hell with Tumblr, may they rule the day that they turn there backs on NSFW contents and any website that doesn't have the gulls to support NSFW contents on there site. Keep your eyes out for Patreon one's they have money they'll turn there backs on NSFW contents. I say we support F95zone and have everyone whose NSFW on Tumblr come here keep it running. Here, here May God Save F95zone & NSFW! (Cheers)

I guess the next question is what actors like Blogspot or other providers will do when the undesirable content bandwagon jumps from tumblr to their sites. Nobody's proud of being the hot spot for IRL dog incest or whatever, and certainly nobody wants to have any government agents show up asking about all the undesirable content that keeps showing up on their platform.

Anyhow, it's not something I would ever want to have to deal with. There's also the old axiom that the internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. Dunno if that's unquestionably going to stay true into the infinite future.

A lot of good artist upload there, but it is not as bad as the 3d artist. I follow several 3D artists that make NSFW models and gif that are really high quality, they archive their stuff in Tumblr. Now they need to find another place to archive.

The worst part about this (when a haven for NSFW content gets shuttered quickly) is always the people who don't make the transition. It won't be everybody, but some people just won't be ready to pick up their archives and move them, and a lot of good shit will just be lost. The Internet is like if the Library of Alexandria were made entirely of fucking matches with random parts of it perpetually burning into nothing (in part) thanks to a surprising amount of their librarians also loving to burn Goddamn books.

There is a problem with Blogger (a.k.a. Blogspot), in that, while they do allow adult content, they don't allow you to monetize it. (See .) So they can easily use that rule to shut down any adult games people sell, if they want to.

WordPress.com is OK with showing nudity, but not "sexually explicit acts". That said, they don't have any rules which would block monetized game links, so it might be better than Blogger. (See .)

Anyone know of any other good, free blogging sites which would work as well or better?

Tumblr only makes money from in-app advertising, so when their app got removed from the apple store, just letting it sit around as-is didnt make any sense. I know its hard to understand but this was the only logical conclusion from a business standpoint.

As for how their incompetency caused their app to get removed in the first place is another matter (years of awful moderating of their own site and a truly terrible algorithm for checking for CP).

And here's the facts that come with this :

Half November, Tumblr was kicked out of Apple's App store, :
Every image uploaded to Tumblr is scanned against an industry database of known child sexual abuse material, and images that are detected never reach the platform. A routine audit discovered content on our platform that had not yet been included in the industry database.
Starting this date, they thought a lot about the problem, and apparently came to the conclusion that they have no way to effectively protect themselves against this threat. So, real life adult content and explicit illustrations depicting sexual act:
What is "adult content?"

Adult content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts.

[...]
Written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, such as sculptures and illustrations, are also stuff that can be freely posted on Tumblr.

Pornhub said they will take everyone who works on NSFW contents in. I love Pornhub, what can those of the NSFW Tumblr Guys & Gals say but move to there website.

Blogspot actually already cracked down on adult content; I think you can still put up your own content, but stuff like giffing porn and camgirl videos that a lot of tumblr pages did is not allowed. I think a few adult artists are still on blogspot but they mostly jumped ship during the initial crackdown. This censoring of the Internet the last 4-5 years or so has really gotten to me. I've been aware that technology companies would de facto hold power over much of societies interactions and artistic output for a long time, even before it actually became the case, but I never imagined that they would be the ones to enact massive censorship of that output. Hopefully we can figure this out before the whole internet gets sanitized.

Tumblr operates on an opt-in model, just like reddit, so technically their advertising was just on your page, and it had nothing to do with the content you curated, so as long as you stayed away from the adult stuff, your tumblr page wouldn't have anything that made advertisers wary, and if you wanted that stuff you'd still get served ads regardless (if you didn't use an ad/script blocker, that is =P). I saw a great post somewhere about how they should have done what reddit did, which is make it basically impossible to access their NSFW subreddits on their mobile apps without heavy workarounds. But instead they did the lazy thing and gutted their whole fucking site.

Super unfortunate that they took the "easy" way out... We'll see how well that works for them...

Pornhub said they will take everyone who works on NSFW contents in. I love Pornhub, what can those of the NSFW Tumblr Guys & Gals say but move to there website.
Hopefully they don't all go behind Premium, I know a few, mostly SFM artists, who have.

boombadaboom aka fapfriendly animations got taken down early and I have no idea how to find him now. If anyone finds anything it would be apreciated.


Also, from the sfm artists I regularly check up on, twitter is going to be the new thing, not pornhub. I don't know if twitter works for uploading stuff, so I guess hosting is going to take place elsewhere.
