Well Okay Tumblr,

You’ve done it,

You’ve somehow managed to fuck up royally again.

This, this here, Shouldn’t be a thing. It’s should NEVER be a thing. This here, these memes. They’re indicative of you not doing your job nor being worth that $7.99 checkmark let alone 1¢.

You haven’t stopped harassing and mistreating your adult users who post NSFW, even though you’ve learned your lesson that not allowing it on your hellsite was a bad idea and why. Although that be giving your empty peanut shell of a brain credit. Dear tumblr staff.

No.

You “removed” the no adult content rule not for your users benefit. No, you STILL ban, delete, and otherwise remove posts by your mature users or just straight up destroy accounts for posting even the slightest sign of something sexual or seductive.

No rather you removed the “No Adult Stuff” rule so that you can get money from the porn sites and their shit bots. You get money for every post they pay you to boost, or for every “AD” they create. Any and all of these accounts I’ve seen have checkmarks which tells me that they PAID YOU to exists and persist. Even if you didn’t intend for this to be a problem.

You had enough time to fix this.

You’ve had enough time to not be a dick to your user base.

You’ve had enough time to not have this be an issue.

If you’re gonna be taking user money, why not USE the money to make the site BETTER for the USERS who PAID YOU MONEY.

Speaking of money where is it going exactly cause I can almost certainly guarantee it not towards advertisement or server space. No, it seems to be towards yet again frivolities that make working for tumblr seem neat.

You’re not fooling anyone, we know it sucks. Why not use that money to make it suck less? Why not, instead of taking a lazy route to solving issues, you actually put in some work to fix it.

So pandering to us and our community.

You are not Tumblr.

WE ARE TUMBLR

You’re nothing but a dead husk without users, and right now you’re on the road to losing your user base by not.

A) treating them better, sure the mature filter in nice but it shouldn’t affect visibility of a post. Which right now it does, you are actively punishing users for posting mature content under your rules and stipulations that it be under the mature filter.

B) allowing porn bots to persist even though they do none of that and harass your user base.

Tldr for your dumb dumb brain.

Tumblr anger at you for punishing users who abide by your arbitrary bullshit, but for some reason Porn Bots get a pass.

And before you say “mature doesn’t mean adult” you need a fucking dictionary and a reality check you stupid stupid staff.

Our fandom, which doth pervade the web Treasured is thy Tumblr Thy influence spread Thy greatness broadcast By app as indeed by wireless

Give us not our daily bots And forgive us our non-blaze-ening As we forgive those who’ve not +followed us

Tempt us not with merchandise (for our wallet's sakes) But advertise us snarky grandmothers For thine is the hosting space Forever not facebook

Amen.
