The question is how Tumblr will survive without users.

Perhaps that's the point?

Tumblr won't survive without users. But the users will survive just fine without Tumblr. They'll find somewhere else or make somewhere else.

For some of them, it is part of their vocation, and so they'll have to survive by re-training, changing markets, or else they might not survive.

You are being condescending based on the type of content that other people care about. Maybe this will help you better understand: consider HN starts banning your comments and someone chimes in, "oh dear, how will yters survive without being able to post his naive opinion?". Hope that helps.

It's interesting to see Tumblr described in many articles/forums as primarily for pornography. Tumblr has been the biggest user acquisition channel (and a free one, at that) for my startup, which has nothing to do with pornography.

We've gained tens of thousands of users in a few days from a single user post, and several user posts have accumulated 50,000+ notes. This is all thanks to the strong accessibility groups around ADHD and dyslexia that exist on Tumblr.

I've spent (wasted) time and money on FB ads, and I wish that I could have advertised on Tumblr. Unfortunately, every time I tried, they only wanted big brands with $25k minimum spend.
