I worked at Tumblr up until the Verizon merger so this story drew my interest. Most of the people who work there are too young to remember Betamax but that sounds like the direction things are going. Good news is that the government of Turkey can finally stop complaining to Tumblr about all the gay porn -- they are REALLY good at finding it (Short KMB!) Seriously though Tumblr never made any money on the adult content - they refused to run advertising on it - it was questionable that the adult content brought eyeballs that stayed around for the non-adult content. It was just a matter of time before the accounting people started wondering how much less their monthly S3 bill might be without the petabytes of un-monetizable porn. Now the question is, can Nyan Cat memes and a Minecraft blog support the business and justify the merger. Maybe Justin Timberlake is still in the market?
