You shouldn't equal what tumblr considers to be "adult content" to "porn".
They flagged several classic paintings as porn on my account. Justice Stewart they are not.
[1] UK equivalent of somewhere between a motel and a hotel.
Pretty amused to see a billion $ go up in smoke because people were upset about porn.

>Whether it's seen next to porn should be irrelevant. It does not work that way. If some average person sees some brand advertised on WSJ and FT, and another competing brand on PornHub he will attach more 'premium' value to a first brand, and will pay more for owning product from this brand. It's only normal and a part of human nature. People enjoy content from PornHub, but they want to be associated with something a…
> It does not work that way. If some average person sees some brand advertised on WSJ and FT, and another competing brand on PornHub he will attach more 'premium' value to a first brand, and will pay more for owning product from this brand. That doesn't explain the connection of "porn" with "less than premium". You call it "normal and part of human nature" but looks like totally cultural. Historical prudery, and a pa…
Brands don't want to be next to content that has that stigma.

That chart is based on Google Trends, which is a terrible way to measure social network activity/popularity.
A lot of people don't use bookmarks and even when they know very well it is facebook.com they still hit search "facebook" on Google.
For example, Facebook shows a 71% drop worldwide in Google Trends over the last 5 years. Their Q2 2019 earnings showed a 20% worldwide growth in monthly users over the last two years alone.
Google Trends can't tell you anything useful about a site's growth or activity.

According to this article [1], you plan to move Tumblr's backend onto WordPress. Considering that Tumblr's infra stores over 1 trillion distinct product objects, this would be one of the most technically ambitious migrations in history. Can you share any thoughts of how it will be approached? Will you be pruning/purging old content or inactive users? [1] https://poststatus.com/automattic-has-purchased-tumblr/
I have no idea precisely what we're going to do or how, but if I were spitballing, I'd think something like ... Currently I think Tumblr stores all posts across all sites in one big table? WP.com does different tables per site. I also think Tumblr's post ids are often above php's int max for 32-bit systems ( 2,147,483,647 ) -- I know I've seen some issues trying to parse tumblr's post ids to integers rather than stri…
