Not sure where I said I have problems with porn. It’s just that it was something outside of tumblr’s business model or any of their income sources

Just to be clear, I didn't say you had problems with it: hence the "even if" preface.

However, calling tumblr "dead" as a result of it does seem to imply such a problem. Their business model was ads, that doesn't inherently exempt porn in any way.

I doubt any ads served next to erotic/porn/whateveryoucallit perform well. And if that’s 50% of your traffic, that is not working well for you or make you a company worth hundreds of millions.

You seem extremely intent on ignoring my above points about the definition of porn not being a binary. There are plenty of porn-adjacent things that advertise well / perform well alongside. In fact, a lot of it will cater to narrowly targeted commercial niches that are valuable in themselves purely for the ability to identify them.
