Tumblr to allow nudity, but not porn

[Davin]

Tumblr will allow nudity again, but not porn.
When they previously allowed nudity, there we allot of nudist pics and videos posted on the site.

I didn't even know that Tumblr still existed.

There were a number of Tumblr blogs on a variety of subjects, not just nudism, that I would periodically visit.

After Yahoo! bought Tumblr, they started progressively tightening restrictions on content.

Initially, they prohibited only explicit sexual content.

Eventually, they prohibited all nudity.

Traffic fizzled after the content restrictions were imposed, and all the blogs basically died.

Everything Yahoo! touches turns to lead.

I had a webpage on GeoCities until Yahoo! bought and strangled that company.

For awhile, I used Yahoo! to host a website.

Yahoo! was collecting a monthly fee from me for a small amount of space on a server with no technical support.

Then Yahoo! decided I was too small to bother with and terminated the service.

I just did a web search and found that Yahoo! bought Tumblr for $1.1 billion in 2013 and sold it for $3 million in 2019..

Geocities? Holy cow I haven't heard that name in a loooong time. That was practically internet infancy

Right there with MySpace, AIM, and the cesspools that were Yahoo Chats

^^ GeoCities, MySpace, and Yahoo! Groups - I was in all of them.

Yeah, I'm that old.

Yeah well, know how I knew about all of it? Getting old is a privilege denied to too many people

ah-ha-ha! has the rating dropped and the audience decreased? Did you realize that they won't pull without nudity? And returned to the old policy?
