It's not a bad example when it's literally relevant to the article.

  But is it? I don't think iphone market shares are large enough to make a company like tumblr die.
  • alexb_ 4y ago
    Yes they are. iPhones make up over half of all smartphones in America.
    • prmoustache 4y ago
      Globally it is less than 20%.
      • alexb_ 4y ago
        Do 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.

          You’re right. Better to just ban porn and lose 100% of the user base.

        In 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.

        Nobody cares about that though. US is where all tech happens.
      • kevinventullo 4y ago
        Weighted by ad revenue, it’s closer to 50%.
      • Miraste 4y ago
        Yes, the 20% that has all the money.
