    Default the Yahoo! Tumblr buyout - what you should know

    There is a LOT of misinformation out there about Yahoo's recently acquisition of Tumblr, and a lot of my cam girl friends have been reblogging fake tweets and what not that are full of it. First, I'd just like to clarify that Yahoo NEVER tweeted about making Tumblr more "family friendly", nor did they ever tweet about "filtering content". Those tweets were made at a website called http://lemmetweetthatforyou.com/ .

    Yahoo's CEO has said she's going to "let Tumblr be Tumblr" - porn and all. David Karp will likely stay on board as CEO, and the only real change Yahoo is talking about doing is adding advertisements.

    I want to add that I'm very disappointed with the way a lot of my fellow sex workers have been acting since this happened. Making assumptions, sharing false information that can easily be verified as such, etc. This is still developing, and spreading fear and paranoia doesn't help. It also scares your customers, which isn't good.

    I will be updating this thread as more information comes out.

    I'm relieved they aren't talking about censoring, considering what they did in the past by doing away/hiding from searches with all the adult Yahoo groups and chatrooms.

    I used to bank using Yahoo adult groups and chatrooms back in the days of adult friendly Paypal/Yahoo messenger. Hooray for open-minded CEOs.

    Good post Janaa I think there is a lot of panic out there due to misinformation. I think we can all be cautiously optimistic. Yahoo wants to make money on tumblr and porn of all sorts is a big part of that. Not just what we all think of as porn but there is a huge portion of tumblr that is fan art/fan fic and that is porn too. They are in this to make money I don't think they want to alienate such a huge part of the user base right away. As long as they are making a profit they won't mind. I'm cautiously optimistic. The advertisers are going to be the sticking point, but other sites have worked around it and I am sure Yahoo will too.

    PS Hopefully they learned from the flickr debacle.

    From what I heard Yahoo let Flickr go completely to shit. It is pretty much a ship with no captian at this time.

    Yeah pretty much but it was a slow decline which was caused by their incompetence. Flickr had so much potential and they killed it by trying to tie it too closely to yahoo among other things.
