They were taken over by Yahoo who promised not to "screw it up", then changed their terms relating to adult content - purging many NSFW blogs, rather than tackling the same problems that face all social media platforms. Since then there's been an exodus of people who have abandoned the website.

I had a blog for 6 years with over 24K followers, jupiter2.tumblr.com. I awoke one day a few months ago, on a Saturday morning to start blogging which has been my ritual and was met with "Your Account Has Been Terminated. To Find Out Why Please Contact Support". You cannot imagine how it feels (or if you're reading this, you just might) how upsetting it is to have 6 years of work destroyed. There was an email from them as well stating that my blog had been terminated for "gore". No way. First, even if I had, where is the warning? But I didn't. I have been extremely careful over the years to follow tumblr rules because I had heard of the horror stories of unlawful termination. I thought that probably most of the people who had their blogs terminated really did break the rules and were just pissed that they got caught and that their their tumblr was terminated. That is NOT the case for most of the terminations. emailed support via their support page. No response. I read up on it and saw that you should try to email from a different email address other than the one that you started the blog with. Did that. No reply. I called their phone number in NY and left voice mails. This was not all at once but over a 2 week period so as to not to anger them with "overzealousness".I emailed Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic, the company that owns Tumblr. I even referenced in my email a couple of quotes from an interview he did:"I would love for Tumblr to become a social alternative. "I want to create a place on the web, which is fun and supportive and substantial. At one point, blogging had a real magic to it. A frisson."and also said:"thank you for using Tumblr and sticking with it. Second, I would say that I hope and believe that Tumblr’s best days are actually ahead of it." I pointed out there are numerous complaints on the web about unfair blog terminations.I pleaded for him to intervene, to help me.No response.I've resigned myself to the fact tumblr will never reinstate my blog even though I had no warnings in 6 years and despite not posting what they say I did. I don't know if a 'bot" terminated me or even what the post was. They won't discuss it with me.Why do random accounts just get deleted? Why doesn’t tumblr, a website that RELIES on its userbase to function, not have better protection to prevent these things from happening to their userbase? Is there a bad tumblr employee who enjoys deleting people's tumblrs without warning, causing them to lose years of work?I just feel this type of flagrant disregard for your user base deserves mention here. It's really a sad situation.
