Good question. I think (dont quote me) that porn ads could be seen as "lowest common denominator", aka "cheapest product on market", and, generally speaking, nobody in marketing department wants to be associated with such label. We may argue that this is wrong and being advertised next to porn content does not carry such stigma, but this is how the world works, at least for now. If some brand will start with porn advertising, their competitors will instantly postition themselves as "premium", "top class", etc, having nothing in common with porn.

Are you thinking that if a porn-averse brand starts advertising on porno, then that brand could become associated with qualities of the spywares and phisheries which currently dominate porn adviertising? The nice thing about lookin at porn on tumblr was that there were no shady spam ads (nothing as shady as ad-supported porn sites). I'm sure if the porn-phobic brands continued to pull their ads the shady click farmers would have moved in to fill the vacuum. Perhaps tumblr would never need shady spam ads if more legitimate businesses would run ads on porn. Just thinking out loud here. Not a doctor or anything.

  > qualities of the spywares and phisheries which currently dominate porn adviertising? do they? you can go to pornhub or xvideos and get all the porn you want, and ads will only ask you to subscribe to "full videos" (which are probably full, but I have never subscribed). Nothing shady about them, no spyware or phishery. I have no tumblr experience, but I dont expect tumblr porn ads being different from pornhub porn ads.

    Oh no, a misunderstanding! I was talking about the ads on the porn, not the ads for porn. The entities which advertise on porn are currently, super shady, promising me larger genitals and beautiful lonely women in my area. Tumblr didnt have such ads on their porn.
