You can't just allow porn submissions on your website, or people will post cheese pizza and everyone knows only the FBI can run cheese pizza operations.

And to think that even this site was influential enough to decide the winner of a GameFAQs contest. We're hardly a grain of sand on Internet Beach.

Turn back on the porn and sell it in a couple months for an easy profit.

But its actually not a steal and a horrible buy without this.

So uh, the price wasn't 20 mil. It was 'well below 20 mil' (as the article in OP states)

https://twitter.com/danprimack/status/1161038705295089664

Now the number is 'less than' 3 mil

yeah I was gonna clarify that, 'under' sounds like 'not quite but let's call it...' wording so that's how I originally took it

Let's buy it from word press for a 5% mark up. It's still a steal and they get to feel like they got something.

"We won't be allowing porn back on Tumblr, but we will point out that the deal included a full set of backup tapes from when the site was full of the stuff. We'll start the bidding at fifty million dollars..."

I understand why they won't bring back the porn, they probably believe they can "fix it up" and then flip it like a shitty old house and sell it for a quick $10-15 mil profit.

It's much harder to sell when it's full of weird fetish porn which is why Verizon banned it.

Not having porn is still dumb tho it literally has no value outside of the porn. Just shut it down, you will NOT make it worth more without the porn and with the porn you won't be able to sell it.

They still haven't even managed to effectively block all porn. I can still log in and see plenty of it.
