He said on his blog he still makes nowhere close enough to break even due to the immense amount of stress put on the servers every day. IMO he should just sell the website to someone for a few million and go travel the earth or w/e

Hmm any other valuable moot lore you'd care to share along with your opinions abzzzzzzz

i think the time for that has passed, advertisers have known for a long time that the site's traffic is 50% anime child porn, which is why he can only get jlist to put their faces on the site. i imagine investors have caught on by now

Real talk:

I know that stereotypically, tumblr users are teenagers who are throwing hissy fits because the world refuses to use the proper pronouns for them as a dragon. And you can make fun of that if you want.

But from what I have heard, (I have for obvious reasons not gone to investigate this), 4chan is posting images under those tags of animal abuse, sexual violence, suggested pedophilia, etc. Basically everything that fits under the definition of :nms: and that would lead to a ban/permaban on here. And they are doing that to highly disturbing/illegal images with the goal that minors will be exposed to them. I have also heard that they are targeting specific tumblr users, who again are mostly minors, for harassment by creating photoshopped pornography to harass them.

So yeah, we can joke about tumblr for being silly but I don't think that means teenagers should be targeted for a campaign of illegal harassment.

idk if they'll bother but honestly the threat of that is just so dumb tumblr sjws win by default. 4chan "raids" have just been hilarious for all the wrong reasons lately. mb I'm getting older or they were always garbage.

yup but them actually creating it, if true, is going one step further. gore n severed heads are one thing, creating child porn is another and stupid because tumblr would cry if they just posted dead horses everywhere
