In early May, the Wall Street Journal reported that Verizon is looking to sell Tumblr, which it picked up in its acquisition of Yahoo in 2017. Pornhub’s vice president Corey Price told BuzzFeed that the company was “extremely interested” in buying Tumblr. PornHub didn’t say more about a possible Tumblr acquisition, but emailed a long statement making its case for already being an NSFW haven. “The same curatorial options are available on Pornhub as they were on Tumblr and users can enjoy the same personalization with us, including the ability to customize their personal feed, create playlists, generate GIFs, and more,” it said.
NewTumbl and BDSMLR closely follow the Tumblr design: Users can quickly start their own post using text, photos, audio, or video.
