What is almost certainly happening with Tumblr’s image classifier is that they’ve deployed the bot entirely untrained, and are relying on user complaints to train it what NSFW content on tumblr looks like.
Making people participate in their own censorship in this way and punishing them with the threat of being silenced even if in compliance with the rules should they not participate, is, IMHO, abuse of their userbase.
Source: I’ve worked for three different top-five social networks, and at all of them this type of work would have been done by making the userbase do it as much as possible.
Please signal boost. I don’t care if you reblog or repost, just get the word out so that people know what they’re doing as they interect with this thing.

Just chiming in as a machine learning expert, this is almost certainly the case (and knowing tumblr, they weren’t even smart enough to throw in pre-trained weights)
GOD THIS MAKES ME ANGRY. Is this just a big game of “Click all the squares with <strike>nipples</strike> cars in them? Is that it? You’re making us work for you on the way out you bastards? *normally sanguine Ces turns into giant rage machine* The (W#)*% *(* with this @$&!!!!
i don’t mean to sound fake deep but the reason 2018 felt so long was because we’re being fed what’s trending at such a rapid rate that we literally can’t remember half of the shit that even happened anymore. “Black Panther came out in February!” Marvel releases so many movies a year that we completely forget about the last movie as soon as a new one comes out and it repeats in a vicious cycle. “Tide Pods/Ugandan Knuckles was in January!” The life span of memes have been rapidly declining for years and it’s gotten to the point where the average lifespan of a meme is about 2 weeks and then the next thing gets popular and then that lasts for 2 weeks and it just keeps going. We’re literally losing our sense of time because of our rapid consumption of media and pop culture.
Frontbenchers Michael Sukkar, James McGrath, Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, Angus Taylor, Zed Seslja, Michael Keenan and Steve Ciobo have all offered resignations in light of Peter Dutton’s resignation from the front bench. Turnbull has yet to accept or reject these at this point in time except Dutton’s.
Meanwhile, this photo has continued to age poorly:
England, 1948. Steve Rogers was found and unfrozen by Howard Stark a few years after war ended, and Peggy Carter can’t believe her luck: she’s marrying the love of her life, his brother is starting to smile again and although the men in her work are chauvinist jerks, they’ve been listening to what she has to say more often lately.
This is not an exaggeration. Your download speed would slow down to the point where Windows would make this kind of absurd estimate, and you’d sigh and leave the room for a while (because you couldn’t use the computer while it was doing this for fear it would crash and lose all your progress) and then you’d come back in 40 minutes and maybe it would now say 52 years or maybe it would say 3 minutes, who knew, not Windows.
I had an audition for the movie “Mother” and I auditioned for the role of the guy, one of the sons who comes in and he’s crazy. I got there on time and I was really trying to get worked up. And I was like ‘ you know what? I’m not even going to say hello. I will really go in there like a crazy person.’ They kept me waiting and waiting and finally I went in there and I ended up hyperventilating on the floor. And then they helped me breath for 5 minutes. I did not get that part.
