I think it's basically this:
I don't have a tumblr so everything I've seen is secondhand, but I see a lot of completely innocuous posts being flagged as NSFW under this new algorithm. Some of them are kind of risqu? (shirtless men lol, but that is supposedly fine under the new rules) but others are just like... artists drawing nature and birds, but the algorithm flags them anyway.
I guess if they can get it to do what it's supposed to things might turn out fine, but honestly I see a lot of content creators just never coming back because tumblr hasn't really proven themselves to be trustworthy or reliable by just pulling the rug out from under them and introducing this janky new way of enforcing their rules. Guess we'll see what happens.
I see, well it opens up opportunities for other media platforms to step in and be like 'Hey we're cool with your birds and stuff, come join us'
Similar things are happening. Take for example Epic stealing the thunder of Steam, by selling games which were banned by Steam's guidelines.

The bot seems even more biased then it already is. I haven't checked to see if all of my 600+ posts have been flagged, but it seems it goes after bigger more well known blogs too. My blogs are still quite small compared the the big ones that get flagged frequently, so it seems I'm under the radar... for now. I do suspect that my blog has been affected in some way thou. I'm not sure if it's cause my small group of followers who actually interact with my posts are gone, but lately my posts have been getting nothing, not a single like or reblog.

They probably didn't even consider "fan fiction".

Can we really expect much from people who've basically destroyed some of peoples' main source of advertising/income in less than a months notice, and then can't even notify them when they take down their posts?
There's no way to find any sense in this really.

At this point, tumblr is just ridiculous.
