[dropcap]F[/dropcap]rom its inception, Tumblr had always been a haven for adult content. As the site evolved, the terms and guidelines were being modified. In 2013, Tumblr made explicit sexual content and nudity more difficult to find. But when the Apple App Store delisted their app—apparently for ineffective child pornography filtering—Tumblr modified its terms and conditions. There was an overall ban on all sexually explicit content and nudity.
Tech experts and other stakeholders have begun arguing about this decision. Will there be any implications on Tumblr in general? Perhaps, there will. So far, the implementation of the ban of spurred the exodus of thousands of NSFW content creators. Many Tumblr users are outraged about this new policy. They have a good case too. Apparently, the censorship algorithms were not intelligent enough. They were notorious for putting red flags on compliant, innocent content. Many creators lost material that wasn’t even sexually explicit. Users joke that the algorithms went as far as flagging Tumblr’s ban announcement as explicit.
On the 17th of December, protesting stakeholders held an effective 24-hour log off the campaign. A survey showed that thousands of people voluntarily logged out of the Tumblr service for a whole day and night. That wasn’t all. Protesters bombarded Tumblr, Verizon, Yahoo, and Tumblr CEO with tweets of protests and offering advice on the best way to handle the problems they providers were facing. So far, Tumblr has received numerous negative reviews on the App Store and Google Play Store.
This censorship is clearly not going to be favourable to any of the stakeholders involved.
In the meantime, there new alternatives to the liberal Tumblr. Software engineers have started launching fantastic platforms for creators and consumers of sexually explicit content. Research has shown that most of these platforms lack the basics that made Tumblr the centre of pornographic content.
However, a fairly new exceptional platform has taken over the market. In fact, this platform is currently being recognised as the leading hub of adult content. It is called iLOOPit. This Tumblr alternative has not only successfully replicated the core aspects of Tumblr, but it has also far exceeded the expectations of content creators and users.
Members of marginalized and self-expressive online communities can rebuild a safe home on as many Tumblr alternatives as they like. So far, numerous LGBTQ artists, sex-positive bloggers, creators, and other marginalized people have subscribed to other supported platforms. The human spirit is resilient. People can thrive—and are actually thriving—without Tumblr.
Why has iLOOPit.net been considered the Best Tumblr Alternative?
iLoopit is the only community of NSWF gif bloggers that have successfully replicated the Tumblr platform. The service offers an excellent tool for content creators who produce GIFs. This makes it easier for anyone to adapt and abridge episodes from NSFW videos. Content is well organized and easy to find. Users can filter by category, date, provider, and popularity.
Its providers aren’t resting on their oars. They are working day and night to add about a dozen new features in a few weeks.
Rounding Off
iLoopit might actually become the favourite destination of NSFW content creators and users. It seems to have exceeded the high mark Tumblr set. Building a large community of people might take a lot of time, effort and work. But it is only a matter of time before they gain the kind of momentum and influence that Tumblr once had.
iLOOPit will try to attract GIF fans from Tumblr
So the product already has a lot of features. Including those Tumblr never had – gif creating online tool and browser extension. It was developed by a small team of enthusiasts. And now when it’s time to evolve to a blogging platform they decided to crowd source some funding at indiegogo.
iLOOPit is a small team of passionate visionerie looking to collect just $30,000 which seems pretty small amount to finance such development and marketing via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/iloopit. Thank youHope their humbleness will look attractive to backers. Let’s wish them luck and follow the updates.
