Tumblr traffic tumbles after porn ban

Since Tumblr announced back in November that they were banning almost all adult content the following month, LGBTQ+ users were understandably outraged with many threatening to boycott the website. Fast-forward to March 2019 and we can see just how much this arguably ill-conceived ban has affected Tumblr’s traffic:-

  • December 2018 – 521 million page views
  • January 2019 – 437 million page views
  • February 2019 – 370 million page views

This signals a huge 29% decrease in traffic with no sign of this ending anytime soon. No significant alternative platform has yet emerged, with many former users now posting their explicit content over Twitter, or have simply moved to Instagram (which is slightly more risqué than Facebook, but still doesn’t allow frontal nudity).

Here are some of our favourite tumblr bloggers that are (for the most part) no longer active on the platform:-
