Just a bit of a heads up about current state of tumblr and why i think most people should move to different platform for art purposes.

As you can see when you search for something on Tumblr it show a bunch of results to offer, with a priority of your Following list - first go people you follow and then by relevancy.

But here’s what happen when i want to find someone in particular and they get flagged by tumblr:

Even if i use an exact name, it won’t appear in search, even tho people repplying to them or using tags will still appear in results. In worse case you can’t even use @ to tag a person. They won’t appear in options and you won’t tag them if you manualy enter their links.

But what if we take it a step further?

Ever heard of InCase? Tumblr doesn’t. Or does it?

As i mentioned before - tumblr won’t show their blog in results, it won’t let you tag them, it won’t let you @ them and it also won’t show anyone’s mentions of them.

And if people think it’s due to ban wave, i will have to disappoint you. Those things been around for more than a year. About 5-6 month ago you still could find IncaseArt as a search result and mentions were still showing.

It’s not really a shout out or anything. Just a bit of a reasoning behind my animosity toward tumblr as a platform. I am still dropping my art here simply becasue of followers, but i’ll be roasting marshmallows on it’s burning corpse with no remorse and i don’t even care how important this platform for some people. I hope it dies.
