The lesson:

"Don't remove porn when the userbase is left-leaning and embraces it."

Reddit and Twitter do it the right way: hiding adult-rated content behind the curtains.

The lesson is that user generated content shouldn't be turned into an algorithmic amusement park for advertisers and data brokers.

Tumblr wasn't making money with or without porn. It was just shifting between owners who thought they'd be better at squeezing money out of it.

Aren’t left leaning people all about “ethical porn” and power dynamics now?

It looks like all the left-leaning porn posters have moved to BlueSky (to the point the main feed was unusable, last I checked).
