I'm always surprised that these web 2.0 sites don't pay people to surf and flag content. It doesn't take much google-fu to find all sorts of stuff on the clearnet that shouldn't be there. I understand that removing offending stuff from Google search itself is very difficult but the walled garden sites like tumblr are much easier as most of the offending stuff is usually linked together by repost and/or likes. Find one page doing something it shouldn't and follow the likes and reposts down the rabbit hole flagging and removing as you go along.

It doesn’t help that Tumblr had no way to flag posts on mobile (both mobile web and in-app). There was too much friction involved in sending a report which is unlike every other social network I use.

  There are a lot of weird quirks with Tumblr that I don't understand like how some pages will only open up in the dashboard.

    Those are marked as "private" if you view those blogs in an incognito window (not logged into Tumblr) it will tell you that the blog is private and you must log in to view the blog. That's entirely the user's decision to make their blog private to the public.

  If true, this is probably why the app hasn't been restored to the store yet. Apple requires apps that show UGC to have a reporting mechanism. In fact, if your comment is accurate, I don't know why Tumblr was ever allowed on the App Store to begin with.
