>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.
