Yep. This is not new. Even as far back as 2011, when they were experiencing 'explosive growth' a lot of the traffic was attributed to porn that tumblr users were hosting on various tumblogs. David Karp even responded to these allegations in a comment thread and claimed that Porn was "less than 3% of their content". [1]

Even right now, if you Google (this is NSFW) "tumblr <_PORN_CATEGORY_OR_TAG_HERE>" you'll see 100s of tumblogs hosting porn in the said category / tag.
