Tumblr is virtually dead

Code:

while [ $(pgrep -c wget) -gt 5 ]; do
    sleep 1s
done

I take it you run several scripts in parallel, right? Otherwise (for one blog only) I would add an '&' at the end of the 'wget' line:

Code:

wget -P "$IMAGE_DIR" -nc -b "$PHOTO"&

yes, you are right. I had a list of like 100 tumblrs that i was checking. And I'm running similar scripts for other sites, too...

Considering the speed at which good sites disappear, this is a very wise thing to do.

so after tumblr's traffic went down (what a surprise), Verizon wants to sell it now...
pornhub has expressed interest and wants to bring it back to it's old glory...

There is also bdsmlr

Hi,

your script does work pretty good. Thank you for sharing with us.

May be you can "pimp" it?
It seems that "flagged" tumblrs, which are behind this "Dieser Blog könnte bedenkliche Medien enthalten." what ever this in english is... you have to press "View this Tumblr" before seeing any contents, does not work (any more?) with you script.

What an ugly sentence...
Try spandexranger.tumblr.com with your script and you'll see what I mean.

yes, I know. It stopped working aeady a while ago.
Since most of the tumblrs I had visited moved away, I didn't put much effort into finding a fix.
By now, I have even deleted my tumblr-account...

Great article with the timeline and explanations: https://productmint.com/what-happened-to-tumblr/

Is it just me or is Tumblr low key permitting NSFW content again. Seemingly they stopped doing whatever content moderation was blocking things.

I don't think Tumblr ever really stopped people posting the less explicit bondage images - at least not in my opinion. 

There was a purge in the very first months, but then everything seemed to settle down again. I can't help but wonder if it was people 'self-censoring' their posts or moving to alternative platforms. 

All of which suited my tastes perfectly, as I'm not into full nudity nor the more extreme elements of BDSM.

everyone migrated over to twitter or bdsmlr
