Tumblr should have listened to Perry's Perspectives from Scrubs.

For some reason I thought Tumblr had collapsed after they banned spicy content. That's why the pronoun hordes flocked to Twitter I thought? In any case, it's been mostly a blight on the internet, but I did enjoy things better when it acted as a fly trap for the degenerates.

That turned it from a major player (while being cancer) to a useless shell of nothing but empty cancer.

Back then it still had power and control on discourse, even if it was just where dumb ideas propagated before going onto bigger tables. Now its just a cave with people yelling at each other with no effect on the greater world beyond its legacy.

They existed, but weren't popular anymore. They brought back porn, but that didn't seem to help.

I wonder which globohomo propaganda tool will die next.

Tumblr destroyed at least 1 generation of women and women-adjacent persons. Rest in piss.

I believe tumblr was sold to yahoo for 1.2 billion and then literally a year later.. worth shit. tumblr changed hands a few times and evetually word press for 1.3 million. Literally lost +99% of its value lol.

Edit.. oh shit. The article says yahoo bought it for 4.8 billion.

I can't think of a company in history that has made worse acquisitions than Yahoo. You kind of figure that by buying a bunch of companies, one will work out and they'll be fine. But Yahoo proves you wrong.

It's what happens to lottery winners except on a company scale.

Yahoo lucked into its money and didn't have the wisdom developed by earning it.

Yeah and someone told me the guys who started it left. So they had kind of nothing. Probably after it stopped being exciting, anyone good left. And they were just running a Jezebel type money losing tax evasion operation.

I didn't even know Tumblr was still around.

Tumblr was a cancer that spread its cancerous cells to places like reddit and etc when tumblr figuratively died after banning porn.

Jezebel already croaked. Tumblr has been struggling for a while. It can't have much longer.

Tumblr was a septic tank of the most vile and degenerate porn imaginable. It left its scars on multiple generations.

It was actually the ethical thing to do to remove porn from Tumblr, but I'm sure that the decision was actually about money, e.g. apple/android stores not allowing Tumblr as an app in its current form or something.

Yeah, as I understand it, Apple either did or threatened to nuke it off the app store if all of the porn wasn't removed.
