Verizon could be looking to sell Tumblr, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. But will a new owner bring back porn? Depends on the owner.
Tumblr — the free blogging platform picked up in Verizon’s 2015 acquisition of Yahoo — is perhaps best known for its community of pornography curators. That’s prior to the purge, anyway, which saw the platform drop all adult content in December of 2018, much to the chagrin of its users.
Since then, Tumblr’s popularity has waned. The site lost nearly 100 million monthly pageviews in the month that followed the ban — a third of its audience.
