MODERATORS
I don't understand the logic. Verizon buys tumblr, knowing it has porn, knowing porn is what makes it popular.
Kills porn.
Kills the valuation of the brand
Sells for far less than they bought it for.
Explain please.
Skill issue
They gambled that the additional ad revenue they'd be able to bring in with a sanitized web site would be greater than the revenue lost from some of their userbase leaving the site. It was a bad gamble.
Wait wasn't it yahoo that initially killed the porn?
This all sounds like the Tenacious D song about trying to kill Rock & Roll
The porn will strike you down with a vicious blow!
