Tumblr is dead anyway for me because of their faulty and illegal GDPR support.

    Their opt out of marketing tracking box has been a meme because you have to manually click hundreds of checkboxes in a very small window on every pageload to not be tracked, accidentally closing the box or hitting accept once will enable all of them, each one you untick increases your load time as it fakes a progress counter to "opt you out", if you choose to opt out they'll re-prompt you every time you load the page Additional bonus is that you'll need adblock disabled and third party cookies enabled and all tracking protection turned off to opt out.

    Foundational Partners Oath works with select partners that process your data to provide significant functionality for our products and services. For more information about these partners, and to understand and manage their use of your data, see: Google (Privacy Policy) Amazon (Privacy Policy) Facebook (Privacy Policy) Teads (Privacy Policy) Nielsen (Privacy Policy) You cannot turn off Facebook tracking for example. This is in violation of GDPR because it is not possible to access essential functionality without tracking. This illegal implementation is even worse than before because it now forces me to explicitly agree with the tracking. It essentially means that I could not access Tumblr anymore.

      It essentially means that I could not access Tumblr anymore. But that's actually okay, no? I mean, you can make a decision what's more important to you...

        Yes, this is not my tragedy.
