I'd like to make an addition. As Internet Historian pointed out in his Q&A about Dashcon (on his second channel), not only did the organizers scam their attendees out of their money, they did so under the guise that the hotel threatened to throw them out "because of the trans/gay/queer/etc." when clearly, the hotel did not care. This why you can see them chanting and doing the Hunger Games thing - they were gaslit into believing they were making a statement against "oppression" by giving the organizers all their money. Being oppressed is very handy when it suits your own wallet apparently.

Conservatives literally lynch people and start wars 😂

I think I can accurately say that I was bullied off of tumblr. I used to be really active because I loved posting art and talking about my favorite characters, but every time one of my posts gained traction there were always extreme SJWs who would find my posts and find a reason they were "problematic". As time went on, most of the sensible tumblr users left so the bullying became even worse. My mental health was actually really affected by this, and it caused me to actually start crying in public once. The final nail in the coffin for me was in the Elder Scrolls fandom where someone posted a black Argonian character (by black I mean black scales, as Argonians are literal lizard people) and someone posted that it was incredibly racist, and a HUGE majority of the fandom jumped on the bandwagon and started bullying the artist. I made a simple post that I thought the controversy was ridiculous since it was about, you know, a lizard, and I got told to kill myself. Something else I hated was that someone who unironically "otherkinned" as my all time favorite Elder Scrolls character was claiming to be him while telling other people to kill themselves, which I know the actual character would never do. It sucks because tumblr really was the perfect platform to discuss fandom things and I haven't found a good replacement website. To make things worse, a lot of these SJW types have migrated to other websites, and there are now huge echo chambers and clique mentalities on reddit and twitter, too. Tumblr has unironically changed the internet for the worse.

I’d like to add a little info to the “last straw”, the NSFW ban, as someone who used to be on tumblr a lot. To begin with, I was never interested in the political, SJW corners of tumblr, or p*rn. I consumed art and game content - at the time, tumblr was the main hub for sims 4 mods and CC, and I spent hours browsing different creators and their works. Then the ban came. And the problem with the ban wasn’t simply that it destroyed the NSFW parts of tumblr (which were huge), but that it simultaneously destroyed everything. They used an extremely flawed algorithm to flag supposed NSFW content, but this didn’t work at all. The bot would miss actual “problematic” pictures and flag anything and everything else. It became a smaller trend to post (censored) pictures of completely innocent things that got flagged as NSFW. Artists took massive hits. The sims 4 community did too. Others did as well - but as I was only involved with these 2, I’ve seen them get destroyed with my own eyes. Many of the largest creators left the platform because their works have been flagged as NSFW and deleted. So many blogs were lost because of the errors the bot made. And support couldn’t keep up. It wasn’t possible to get through to staff about the incorrect flags, and so… the blogs and the creators just up and left. And along with them went the people who only used tumblr for their content. The absolute joke of the situation was that while a boob was apparently not tolerated in the slightest on the website, neonazi blogs openly supporting genocide were absolutely thriving. They glorified the Holocaust but that was alright, what mattered to tumblr was that there wasn’t a single boob in sight. I wish that was a joke, but I checked them myself when this was happening. Those blogs had no issues. They were up for months after my favourite creators all left because their blogs were wiped clean, despite posting nothing bad. (I checked it out now, and it seems like they eventually got rid of most of them, but… too little too late.) So… yes. Tumblr tried to make the platform look good to advertisers, and they decided that this was worth destroying one of the largest part of their website, the NSFW content corner. And because they didn’t think it through nor did they take extra care to do this properly, they simultaneously destroyed several other completely unproblematic communities and couldn’t undo the damage they did, all the while not solving the actual problem with the website; the toxic fanbases, the neonazis, etc. By acting like p*rn was the only problem, they destroyed the site for nothing. And even if there isn’t as much chaos anymore, tumblr will never come back because it’s a platform that relies on creators for traffic, and the creators they chased away won’t be coming back. I still use it because of the ts4 creators that remained on there, but I no longer browse the site, I just grab what I need and leave. And seeing how little engagement even the trending posts get, this seems to be the same for most users.

Why does this sound like twitter now 💀

I think there's a bit more context of tumblr's downfall that you've missed in this video Moon. There was a huge issue on the site in regards to child pornography that was not addressed by Tumblr itself and was running rampant. Eventually, Apple ended up dropping it from the app store because none of the issues were being resolved. Tumblr's solution to this was to have a bot that would automate quality control. The problem this brought however was that posts that never broke terms of service and conflicted with artists that created adult content for their audience would end up having thier posts deleted for inexplicable reasons. Also, very little means to contact representatives to assess, handle, and resolve these issues highlighted the company's incompetence for their userbase. That also contributed to the mass exodus of Tumblr and I'm surprised you never brought that up.

To add to the banning of explicit material. One of the reasons the banw as put in place was because there was a lot of cp posted on tumblr. I came across 3 separate blogs that were filled with cp. Did my best to report and much as I could, but the accounts and content stayed up. Instead of tackling this directly, they banned all adult content, which felt like a punishment to everyone else. They also decided to use an algorithm to ban explicit content, but the algorithm was shit, leading to lots of regular content also being removed when it wasn't explicit in anyway

Tumblr died because they banned p0rn on it. It was the reason most users went there.

This is something that I wouldn't say led to the downfall, but was part of the larger downfall, was the loss of Xkit. There was a coder who made browser plug ins (XKit) that made Tumblr work SO MUCH BETTER, it got to the point that the website would update and then everyone would be messaging him to update his plug in. It was one guy who had a life to live and eventually the community got so demanding with the speed of the updated version to come out that he just abandoned it.

i find it funny how he says “completely dead” despite the fact many are still active on jt to this day

Another important thing to consider about the porn ban is how disastrously it was implemented. The criteria for what was adult content or not was so nonsensical that fanartists making nothing but SFW art were getting banned while harmful communities, like the infamous MAPs, were getting away scot-free. The dreadful userbase definitely was the main reason Tumblr died, but staff incompetence played a massive role as well.

“They were slapped with a dose of reality” Like all social media sites and it’s users should be.

Seeing how tumblr is gone now I can see the positive effect it used to hold, the social outcasts had a place to dwell leaving other platforms relatively normal but now platforms like twitter have been overrun with them causing many people including myself to quit the site. I find any place nowadays on the internet with any hint of anonymity is a birthing ground for increasingly radical ideas, as sad it is to say. I was on the internet about 15 years ago and I really appreciated the anonymity many sites provided as I was young and not comfortable sharing personal information online including my name. It maybe me seeing the past in rose tinted glasses but the freedom we had was used mostly positively and in good heart, things like trolling wouldn't cause and uproar just seemed harmless fun. I suppose nothing great lasts forever.

I remember subscribing to Tumblr in the early 2010s to see arts and fashion contents, it was pretty great to have a daily dose of new stuff. I was also following comics dedicated pages, but progressively, they were and more more sexually oriented, not porn, but the whole focus was about the fan made sexual orientation of some of the characters. Other than talking about the artwork or the stories, everything was about gender/race swap, all the characters were suddenly gay, and that's all that seemed to matter. Same happened with the rest of the content I was following. It's fine to talk about it and do a what if, but social justice became the main focus of everything.

Tumblr at least kept all the degenerates away from other SM sites. But in the world of "Go Woke Go Broke", the epitome of wokeness was bound to go broke at some time, so the downfall was pretty much expected.

The fandom toxicity is still very much alive its still toxic especially if you're part of a fandom but there are really good writers on there so I still keep and active account.

Mrbeast could LITERALLY buy tumblr at this point

I was on tumblr specifically for the fandom side of things and maybe it was inevitable, or maybe I was plainly unlucky but I was exposed to so much toxicity in there... On one side there was the people glamorising depression and mental illnesses that I feel just worsened my own mental state. The most jarring thing I remember was someone I followed that had a fandom blog suddenly started posting overtly pro-ana stuff out of nowhere, I gave them a chance but after a few days of this I had to unfollow them bc I didn't want it to influence me. I still don't get how you can go from posting pictures of your favourite artist to encouraging people to eat ice if they're hungry, it's just messed up. On the other side there was the people increasingly becoming "woke", day after day I was bombarded with SJW discourse, when I joined the site for non-political entertainment so idek how it even came to this. At first I entertained their ideas and I even considered myself a feminist because I was young and easily swayed, but there was a point I realised they were taking it too far. Again this came from someone I actually followed, one day they suddenly started asking white people to unfollow them because "white people made them uncomfortable". Some people would claim this isn't racist because "white people can't experience racism" but how can you ask a certain race to unfollow you and not expect me to think you're racist? I just couldn't believe someone would reach such a level of delusion. I stayed on the site for a bit longer but at some point I realised I was better off out of it. If anyone is wondering my active period was around 2013 to 2017, a bit of my middle school and high school years.

Sadly now all of those depraved people have moved to other platforms (definitely TikTok, the newest trash site, and Twitter of course), and there was a very noticeable drop in quality for other apps I used. The userbase became so toxic and full of literal filth, people so unhinged and out of touch with reality who screeched and wiped their shit everywhere and sent death threats to people for no reason besides being white or male or, god forbid both.
