I'll just pose the same question I asked deltav:
Would you make a Tumblr blog if you were not trying to make money from it? If the answer is "no" then your interest in adding value to Tumblr is zero, so quit trying to kid yourself that is what you are doing. You're polluting their site with spam, like everyone else here who makes blogs there.
So you would have rules too, like Tumblr, just slightly different rules. And if someone came to this board complaining about your hypothetical site, saying "Waaaaaaaaa! They deleted my blog just because I had popups and ads galore", what would you say to them?

I have to disagree.
I don't see spam as an absolute like you seem to. People liked my blog. People liked some of the other responders to this thread's blogs. So yes, I would have visitors if I was to make a tumblr service the way I wanted to.
To answer your question of course I wouldn't make a blog on there if I couldn't profit from it. But so what? I profit and they profit. Everyone wins.
