The End of Tumblr Could Be Near, and Here's Why

The End of Tumblr Could Be Near, and Here's Why:

Banning not safe for work becomes not safe for profit.. 

Now, however, Tumblr is facing a huge dilemma: Users are leaving due to the site’s ban on porn. Last year, on Dec. 18, Tumblr erased all adult content from the website, and many blogs were deleted because of this. This decision was made because child pornography was found on the site. Instead of addressing this issue head on, Tumblr decided to ban all NSFW content. This had a devastating effect on the website. Between last December and February of this year, Tumblr lost 30 percent of its users. This ban affected many artists who draw NSFW content, as well as those who write erotica or fan-fiction.
