Why Not A Tumblr Spin Off?
Tumblr is a business and the owners have the right to run it as they wish. But just because Tumblr owners don’t want adult content on this site any further, it doesn’t mean adult content is wrong, and for many of the people who have been enjoying Tumblr for the adult content it uniquely allowed, Tumblr is taking away something that brought them pleasure. Can you imagine if The Gap decided it didn’t like Size 4s and would no longer allow Size 4s into their stores?
Customers should be taken care of. Tumblr owners are failing their customers and stand to lose a percentage of the very asset they use to sell advertising. Adult content saved Tumblr. I knew of no gay man who said the word Tumblr until they discovered adult content was here.
Tumblr, instead of losing goodwill, you could gain it. Why can’t the adult content just be moved and found on an adult site that has nothing to do with Tumblr. Social media sites like this one rely on users to generate content so they can exist. Tossing users aside when the content they generate isn’t smart, sets a dangerous precedent, and is a sort of censorship: “We are taking away the things you like that we don’t.”
But is it too late to create a solution where everyone wins? A spinoff TumblrX? Because what you, the social media site is doing is not social at all.
