I could swear this has happened before.

If you mean "Yahoo buying a popular thing (especially one popular with internet fandom) and driving all of its users away by trying to monetize it in some obnoxious way that none of its actual users wants, thereby causing it to lose all its value", then I think you're talking about del.ico.us.


EDIT: vv Yes, but only because Verizon owns Yahoo.

they'd have to
- undelete a bunch of accounts and blogs
- overnight develop a child porn recognition algorithm that actually works
- hire more moderation staff

and considering their recent displays of organizational prowess how likely are any of these things really

the damage is done, all we have to decide is what funny images to flag as nsfw with the time that is given us

I'm thinking they crunched the numbers and it's a big dead weight without being on the Apple store, so it's gonna die one way or another and they stand a better chance of selling it off if it's still in apples ecosystem.

yahoo is hilariously out of touch so it's fitting that they own tumblr

their security team is called PARANOID and I get headhunters from them sometimes and they unironically call themselves "noids" and want me to "JOIN THE NOIDS" which is actually really sad and makes me think their business is failing

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

loving lol, YouTube's lovely algorithm still fucks up constantly after years of work and all it's trying to do is parse video titles, this thing is going to be erroneously banning accounts left and right and good luck trying to work it out with support.

i used to think that the kinds of people who use tumblr now will be the same kinds of people who used livejournal ten-fifteen years ago: people who can look back at themselves as a teen and laugh about it. now the Almighty Algorithm is changing that
