Who Killed Tumblr? We All Did
- joelx 7y agoWhy does everyone see the early internet as some beautiful and clean time in which all websites were philanthropic? I remember the early internet as a cesspool of bad porn websites and a zillion different scams. There was a few semi useful tools like Yahoo and MapQuest, and a few interesting but poorly build personal sites. If you weren't extremely savvy though, your computer was nearly guaranteed to get malware. Our internet today is enormously more useful - Gmail, Google Maps, Facebook, a highly evolved tool for almost anything you want to do, strong search engines, strong protections to help prevent users from getting malware, free photo and video storage, and rapidly improving infrastructure.

- jvagner 7y agoI didn’t kill Tumblr. Pretty sure about that.
- etblg 7y agoMe neither. Anyone here responsible for killing Tumblr?
- whenchamenia 7y agoOops, my bad. I must have tripped over the plug on my way out. No big loss after the purge. While I could care less about boobies on the internet, the 'porn' ban somehow decimated all the liberal communities my friends seemed to enjoy there. Network effect, chilling speech, who knows; but the fire was extinguished and the sauce ruined.
