How can you alienate the audience on your site so bad that they wish you to β€˜eat mud and die or something already’? Ask Matt, the CEO Automattic, who is currently in charge of Tumblr!

@brawaru That seems a bit extreme. What's happening with Tumblr?

@Gargron staff can't stop implementing weird changes and refuse to listen to community disapproval of these changes

[Figure 1] Like this is how the home page on Tumblr looks like these days, I think this already tells a lot.

[Figure 2] But if you think this is bad, think again when a week or so ago users were greeted with this upon opening the site (and you couldn't remove that clown pirate unless you used adblocker).

Screenshot of Tumblr home page. The navigation bar now on the right, looking very similar to the Twitter's, having a lot of unnecessary items like ‘TumblrMart’, ‘Get a domain’, ‘Go Ad-Free’ and huge attention-drawing ‘Create’ button in the bottom left corner. The feed now features tabs on top of it, on screenshot it consists of ‘Following’, ‘For you’, ’Your tags’, ’What you missed’, ’Trending’, etc. Below are the usual compose buttons, allowing to start you writing a post of specific type. And then follows ‘Tumblr Live’, category filled with random hashtags with images of women, some can be considered suggestive. Below is another section ‘Check these out’, featuring three cards: ‘Changes on Tumblr’, ’Staff Picks’, ’Trending’. Only then you can see the usual posts, not even 1/3 of the first post is making it on the screen. On the right is the usual sidebar featuring search, recommended blocks and Radar. On the bottom right are chats bubbles with small avatars surrounded by huge white padding.

Screenshot of the same Tumblr, but the background is replaced with an image of a wall with bunch of flyers telling stuff like ‘Pirates beware! This city is under marine protection’, etc. In feed the ‘Tumblr Live’ and ‘Check these out’ sections are replaced with One Piece video ad, with huge button below ‘ONE PIECE now streaming on Netlfix’. On the right of the page, covering recommended blogs and radar is a clown pirating sitting on barrel, it was fixed and would follow the scroll.
