Sensitive Content

Looks like Tumblr is going to wreck itself. They are going to mark explicit blogs as sensitive content, block them from web searches, and make it so people have to be logged into Tumblr to even see the nsfw blogs.

Basically, Tumblr is no longer going to be useful as a way to get people to see your content, your books, etc.

Without search traffic, no one will really be able to find the nsfw blogs they really want. Not being visible in the tag results, will really reduce the number of people who can find your blog.

Can’t really see how it won’t be downhill from here.

I suggest you let Tumblr know that being visible to search engines is an important part of blogging. https://www.tumblr.com/support
