I'm Not Mad...

Posted by MageKate07 - February 28th, 2024


I remember my first blog post on this website. I admitted that I wanted to post art here because I didn't trust Tumblr... Well guess what what I learned that fucking website just did that shattered that trust completely.


It's late at night by the time I'm writing this, so I'm not going explain the whole thing (too tired). Besides, you probably can find the whole story by looking up Tumblr on your Google news or whatever news you read. However, the short version is Tumblr (and Wordpress) and teaming up with big AI companies like MidJourney and giving them our work. As you can imagine, I got anxious and pissed when I heard. Not surprised though, I kind of saw it coming giving Tumblr's current state.

I opted-out of any third parties scrapping through my blogs on there, but the whole thing just left me feeling distrustful of it.


As a result, I decided I wasn't going to waste time posting my work on there (unless I create some interesting fanart). I'm going to be posting on website like Newgrounds who don't even allow that AI art shit. At least the more original stuff will be on there.


I only pray things will get better for Tumblr and the creators I respect who decide to stay on there... However, at the end of the day, I'm not mad...


JUST DISAPPOINTED.

I feel 'ya. It can really feel like a punch in the stomach when corps do what's best for the business, rather than what's best for the users. I felt completely ignored when I post to social media sites, because I got no following to showcase what I can do.
