About the update
Like. Okay. The reply inline system they were using before has been used on forums and threads for DECADES. Ever since we first use the computer we see the reply system that tumblr used to have. Our eyes have been trained to read conversations on the internet like that. And then Tumblr applies this new system, of reading a convo the same way we read an article. It doesn’t work because we’re used to seeing a new line, a new indentation, as a new person talking. The new system is set up like an article, without much of a visual queue to indicate that a new person is speaking. That’s my main problem. It’s making everything so much more difficult to read, especially for people with trouble reading. It makes me wonder just what kind of site the staff thinks they’re running. This is not an article site. This is a chat site. Its a conversation site. This is a multiple narrative site. They’re going against how literally every other thread site on the internet goes. They’ve made a horrible move here, in my opinion.

Tumblr user pizza, along with 10-12 other popular blogs were terminated because apparently they were being paid to promote this weight loss pill scam, which is against tumblr’s terms and conditions.
Another thing, pizza has made some pretty racist comments and for a while had a “ni****fights” tag along with some other racist tags as well as some other problematic stuff (http://tsarbucks.tumblr.com/post/72150571279/pizza-awfullydistracted-pizza). So generally people are pretty happy she’s gone.
Update: pizza has another blog (I think its her) and its larrytattoos (as of 2015), where she confirms her deletion was because of the weight loss pill scam.
Hope this helped!
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen about the whole Musk Twitter Event because imagine being so bad that John Green, the man who was famously run off Tumblr by literal maniacs editing his post to a serenade to cocks in the Green Cock Incident, considers Twitter to be The Worst Site, ie worse than Tumblr. Insane

I do want to be optimistic that tumblr is competent enough to have a functioning flag system but honestly there’s a good chance it’s just gonna self destruct and listen. I’ve been here since 2011. I’ve accumulated over 30k followers. I’ve been meaning to take my content to a new platform for years because I would kill to be able to make a living as a content creator and that’s simply not possible here.
Tumblr nuking itself is kind of that final push. I don’t wanna use my blog for anything other than video releases and links to content on other sites.
Where am I going to go? Twitter and YouTube mainly. Now, they both have their own problems but twitter allows for a decent tumblr substitute and YouTube allows me to financially support myself. I’m going to be pushing this post until the 17th, at which point, depending on how well tumblr works anymore, I will be predominantly using twitter and YouTube.

Someone on twitter once accused me from stealing a tweet from tumblr when I was the op on tumblr
The one thing Twitter has over Tumblr is that Tumblr has no immediate visual sign as overwhelming and hilarious as
