My prediction...

...for what's going to happen in the future with the people who are crying about leaving tumblr fiveever because they're supposedly cracking down hard on nsfw stuff (even though all evidence points to they're actually not). A couple weeks from now they're still going to be on tumblr. They're still going to post nsfw stuff and people are still gonna see it.

Honestly this is starting to get really annoying. Though the thing that really makes me want to roll my eyes so hard they fall out of my head is that people seem to want to scapegoat yahoo even though tumblr has always run itself as ineptly as possible without the intervention of a large company. And if I see one more post whining about yahoo wanting to clean the site up "for the children" even though tumblr let's you join if you have an email and has never asked for your age then I'm gonna throw up.

We've seen this before with LJ, multiple times. Every time something changed, lots of people whined about being driven off LJ, but they didn't actually stop posting until tumblr came along and distracted them from LJ. A few people left LJ to go Dreamwidth-only, but most of people who were mad at LJ just kept posting to LJ. Most of the people who are mad at tumblr will stay on tumblr until the next blogging platform that is significantly different from tumblr rolls out.
