Companies can always find ways to screw another company over, this is not unique to Apple. Bad example.

- 2malaq 4y agoIt's not a bad example when it's literally relevant to the article.
- prmoustache 4y agoBut is it? I don't think iphone market shares are large enough to make a company like tumblr die.
- alexb_ 4y agoYes they are. iPhones make up over half of all smartphones in America.
- prmoustache 4y agoGlobally it is less than 20%.
- alexb_ 4y agoDo you want to be the person who has to explain why your userbase just dropped 20% because you didn't want to ban porn? If Apple says you want to ban something, it's getting banned. "Globally" is also not a good metric here, since the vast majority of tumblr users came from english speaking countries.
- xwdv 4y agoYou’re right. Better to just ban porn and lose 100% of the user base.
- simonh 4y agoIn the local galactic supercluster it might be less than 0.1%, but Tumblr happens to be predominantly used in the US, and that's what matters to their business.
- midislack 4y agoNobody cares about that though. US is where all tech happens.
- kevinventullo 4y agoWeighted by ad revenue, it’s closer to 50%.
- Miraste 4y agoYes, the 20% that has all the money.
- lucideer 4y ago> I don't think You can think what you like but they literally did so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- oaiey 4y agoThere was hardly a company that powerful ever. Controlling communication, media consumption and entertainment at will for a user group as big as theirs. Never before. Not with oil, cars, industrial products, pharma etc.
