I read both of the boards of directors agreed to it in another article. But yeah, banning porn and adult is a concern to anyone in adult using Tumblrs to drive traffic, promote, etc. Remember when Yahoo went on a purge of adult Yahoo Groups? I doubt the Yahoo BoD or the new CEO want the Yahoo brand associated with porno.
Tumblr hasn't generated huge profits since its inception, despite its vast popularity. I would foresee ads coming to Tumblr since that's Yahoo modus operandi ads ads ads ad nauseum. And that might alienate users since one of the reasons users flocked to Tumblr was its social platform
sans ads &
sans constricting rules on adult content.
