One [[Tumblr]] user addressed [[TPTB]] at Delicious:{{Quotation2|I would like to take this opportunity to thank Delicious. I really appreciate the way that you have taken a user friendly, helpful and extremely useful tool and turned it into a convoluted mess that is nearly incomprehensible.

An interview with Delicious' new owner suggested that AVOS' vision of the site does not--and will not--mesh with fandom's needs. As fan [[runpunkrun]] said: Our new digital overlord, Chad Hurley, gave an interview in which he complained about how things just got so ''hard'' when people were using Delicious to save ''links'' and ''tags'' and ''information''. So he put a stop to it. <ref>[http://runpunkrun.livejournal.com/320653.html Batman hates it when Web 2.0 gets in the way of his bookmarking.] (Accessed Oct. 11, 2011)</ref>

The initial version of AVOS Delicious did not include tag bundles. Many kink meme, comment fic sites and newsletter communities relied on the bundles to organize the tags for creating or organizing their content. Some communities immediately switched to other sites, even though they did not offer the tag bundle feature either, often because other features or functionality was missing.
