When you ban porn on your massively popular site for porn & drive off a massive segment of your userbase epic style
That was the old owners. The new owners have stated that they want to bring porn back but it's not really feasible because payment processors are anti-porn.
God it's ridiculous how much power we give to banks. If the content is not illegal it should not be up to the payment processors what content a web service can provide.
I think it's because when it is illegal it's ultra illegal and ultra terrible. Even then I question how much of it is already pretty sus.
Bit late for that turn eh?
I assume payment processors is also the reason why Verizon banned porn, although i don't think they talked about it like the wurrent owners do.
Wordpress bought Tumblr in 2019 for, allegedly, 3M$, which is a huge discount, and they've done a good job running the place so far.
You're telling me I can now get my fix of Twinks from Tumblr again?!
