December 17th 2018, maybe? I know I stopped seeing a lot of tumblr links when that policy changed, even ones that weren't affected by the change. I'm curious how much traffic and posting changed when that finally went into effect.

- bkberry352 7y agoDoes it? This seems to indicate that the site has been declining since 2013 and that the policy was more of a "final straw" type factor

I will say though that the "final straw" dropped interest by half overnight.... so it certainly was detrimental but they certainly where losing interest over time.
