iOS has a 14% market share and Apple has absolutely no way to police content outside of the App Store. How did Apple ruin the Tumblr site? Why hasn’t pornhub met the same fate?

  There’s porn on my phone, Mr. Jobs. Where? Which app?!? The app I believed is called “the internet.”

Or reddit. I don't see how reddit is any different from Tumblr in this case, and it has several apps. Has Apple loosened up their restrictions since Tumblr went under?

> Apple has absolutely no way to police content outside of the App Store Wrong and naive. They have no direct way. Plenty of indirect ways. > How did Apple ruin the Tumblr site? Taleb's minority rule. Also read tumblr insiders' accounts of the porn ban that lay the blame much more on Apple than mainstream reporting does. > Why hasn’t pornhub met the same If Twitter/tumblr/reddit had no app, their mobile engagement would halve or worse. Not true for Pornhub.

  >If Twitter/tumblr/reddit had no app, their mobile engagement would halve or worse. Not true for Pornhub. This fails at even cursory inspection. Reddit thrived for many years without an app. In fact Reddit has ruined their own website so that they can push/force people to their mobile app. The website is so popular that Reddit considers it a problem. A problem because it’s harder to monetize a website than a mobile app. >Taleb's minority rule. Also read tumblr insiders' accounts of the porn ban that lay the blame much more on Apple than mainstream reporting does. I’m sure the insiders at a failed business have everyone to blame but themselves.
