Tumblr said it had decided that adult content was no longer in line with its core mission, and that there were other sites offering adult content. It was a problem that Tumblr had to solve immediately, and by eliminating all adult content they were able to get back into the app stores quickly while also ridding themselves of their porn bot filtering problem. However, when Apple and Google both dropped Tumblr from their app stores in quick succession due to issues related to adult content, a crisis was created.
Tumblr seemed to be having a difficult time getting a handle on this problem without simply eliminating all adult material across the board, but they were slowly working on it.
At that time, spammy porn bots were continuing to plague the entire site by following people’s blogs (both mainstream and NSFW) and leaving unwanted, generic comments in an attempt to promote themselves and to lure people away to pay sites. In 2017, Verizon acquired Tumblr as part of a $4.5 billion deal that merged Yahoo and AOL into a new corporate entity called Oath. Rather than banning porn, Tumblr focused on working to more effectively fence it off from the eyes of mainstream Tumblr users. There were reports of alleged adult blog purges and censorship, but eventually everything quieted down. Surprisingly, Yahoo eventually indicated that it planned to keep things exactly as they had always been. When Yahoo acquired Tumblr in 2013, many Tumblr fans thought that it might lead to the elimination of adult content on Tumblr. Tumblr did a pretty good job of keeping the porn blogs and the mainstream blogs separate, and everyone seemed relatively happy.
