Twitter had better resources to prevent NSFW mishaps from creeping into your feed.

In 2017, Twitter had dedicated ML resources driving their recommendation engine + human moderators on fallback duty. You need to explicitly opt-in via web app before you can see NSFW using their app.

In comparison, Tumblr struggled with NSFW content as they relied heavily on users to police content.

Without opting-in, pornograhic posts regularly bled into standard content. With the demographics, CSAM content quickly started to do the same.

Their web ui was a magnitude slower than their app, mostly due to inefficiently loading new content.

On a blog with heavy video, you could manage to freeze your desktop browser within minutes.
