Tumblr porn vanishes today

If memory serves, the best tumblr years were around 2008-2010, when Ryan Adams was posting around the clock and hordes of hipster babes were flocking to the site to see intimate photos of him in his grubby NY apartment. Incidentally, Ryan Adams wound up having a couple public meltdowns/temper tantrums online and kept deleting and returning to the platform.

Gradually everyone began regurgitating the same conventional, monotonous uniqueness that has taken over every major city in North America - fairy lights, chalk boards, etc, etc. Eventually tumblr filled up with porn and I think a lot of people fell off of it when it couldn’t safely be opened at work. I kind of assumed they’d (tumblr) would just roll with it. Surprised. I hope it reinvents itself but I kind of assume it’s dead.
