I wasn’t even an artist! and even I got purged!

Agreed. Afterall, things like U-scan checkouts exist, although mainly as an option.

Honestly I just go on tumblr for cute fanart so I’m not that worried although I have heard that the report bot is a bit buggy right now and is flagging things as far away from sexual as can be. Stuff like photos of cars, photos of cakes, landscapes, and head shots of just people smiling, to name a few things.

I always hear that about YouTube comments but I think it’s a bit of an exaggeration. Yes, there are some comment sections which get flooded within seconds by people randomly throwing around random racist slurs and every horrible thing you can think of. But in general, a lot of YouTube comment sections are civil (like many of the ones for Let’s Plays).

@The Smiling Pony  
In that case, everyone might as well abandon computer technology.

@The Smiling Pony  
Yeah…. YT comment section is pretty much one of the worst place on the internet if not the worst. And honestly I think they could do better on the automated takedown, probably one of the reason why you shouldn’t leave those thing on bots. And I have to say that I honestly don’t agree with their new guidelines. But I guess with the raise of those snowflake, nothing that they can do some much about it.

@Cyan Lightning  
YT is indeed still popular, but it’s doing its riddled itself with problems; automatic takedowns, complete lack of human moderation, absolute disconnect from its userbase, bowing down to the media corporations it was supposed to be an alternative to, etc.

Not sure what you mean by “dead”, the last time I check YouTube still rank as the second most visiting site by Alexa.com right behind google and pretty much beating Facebook to third place. So the site that significantly lose visitors for last year is Facebook, it used to be on second place.

@Wechselpony  
YouTube is already dead, we’re just pupetting it’s corpse pretending it’s still alive.

End ahahahaha. Remember Youtube folks?

@Pudding Pone  
Uhh, for the nsfw, it could be pillowfort or mastodon.

@vit  
Twitter?

I’m just waiting for a replacement site for the tumblr migration to go to.

@Mikey  
Yeah and honestly I have a bad news for those people that think other should have a “real job”. The rise of automation, will render pretty much job that require muscle more than brain obsolete in few decades. Meanwhile job that like freelancer, online jobs and stuff that require more brain power will stay for much longer. So yeah in the future we won’t have much people doing the “real job.”

@Havock  
Exactly.

@Mikey  
No one does. If it pays, it’s a job.

@PhantomShadow051  
You don’t get to decide what constitutes a “real job” m8.

@zerowinger66  
To the liking of advertisers like Nike, Apple, Toyota, MetLife, and every other major corporation that scorns anything remotely controversial in fear their investors or stock value may get hit.
 
And to make things worse, every major company chases the big money and gobbles up the little players that weren’t along the way. It won’t be long until the internet is as safe, monotonous, and advertiser friendly (ie. devoid of any user generated content that may result in anyone getting offended for whatever reason) as cable TV networks.

While in the grand scheme of things lewd fanart on tumblr shouldn’t matter, this is another bad sign of how the open internet is slowly being sanitized to the liking of the Silicon Valley tech oligarchs.

@Yet One More Idiot  

 
This comment is good 😂
 
Someone needs to make sunset say this

My Tumblr is dead (to me the stupid site won’t let me delete it) so I’m just sitting back and watching them kill themselves.  

@Background Pony #0873  
You do work, you get paid… how is that not a job?
 
If you think it’s easy to pull off and get money for nothing, why don’t you try it?

You and me both, sister.

@The Smiling Pony
 
Unless it’s Internet welfare/donations, then it’s just an allowance. Getting a disability check isn’t a job either, and neither is this.

@PhantomShadow051  
I fail to see how making a living doing something you love is a bad thing.
