If BuzzFeed is to be believed, Pornhub of all places has expressed interest: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanhatesthis/pornhub-interested-in-buying-tumblr https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanhatesthis/pornhub-i.... It seems weird until you realize they probably couldn’t do a worse job than Yahoo and Verizon did; at least they understand why people visit the site.
- solveit 8y agoPornhub is competent, "gets" Tumblr, and has the know-how when it comes to filtering porn. With how cheap they're going to get this, this could be a massive win for Pornhub.
- culturestate 8y agoAgreed. Seems like a no-brainer for PH if they have the cash.
- Broken_Hippo 8y agoSome of the issue with the current Tumblr is the removal of adult content - and everything else that went with it. Pornhub has experience with this sort of thing. Lots of it. The challenges of managing such a place are a bit less, I think. Not only that, but pornhub (for the most part) has a somewhat different sort of reputation than Yahoo and Verizon. Yahoo has been dying for eons and verizon is, well, verizon. Tumblr is likely to get some traffic simply for being owned by Pornhub as well.
