Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

This is blatantly untrue
Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.
Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to ragain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)
Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,
DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.
Please reblog this version of the post to stop the spread of misinformation.
Actually killing Tumblr over this is… probably a good idea.
Because it sends the message of “Ban nsfw and censor and lose your business”. And I think that’s a message that needs to be sent.
Same reason I’m looking to switch away from Apple with my next generation of computer/tablet/phone.
You all guessed right, I’m migrating my artwork to Twitter because Tumblr can’t keep it self running any more. (And I’m being extremely nice saying it this way.) As of this moment, my queue will be emptied and all side blogs deleted within 3 days. This post will be all that’s reblogged here now.
Thank you all for the love of the fandom and sticking with me for so long. It was a blast seeing all of your hard work and effort put into such beautiful creations. Thank you for being with me on this journey. ~♥
