Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The decision to buy is made by numbers before the purchase: returning visitors, time spent etc. "look at how many hours of eyeballs we're buying"

The decision to kill the porn is made by social pressure after the purchase: "hey we've noticed that in your stable if brands you have some questionable materials. We can't be associated with that kind of filth, you're damaging our brand." - cc processors, advertisers etc. "my wife went on that platform we just bought and you won't believe what she found" - half the members of the board.

Most boards are collectively moronic - rarely do you have competent people that can hold serious tense discussion and can reach conclusions without either descending into massive infighting or just coast along the dominant political players.

Sounds like boards are just HOAs for rich people

Most are there for the kudos and cocktail parties. They really don't give a shit about how anything is going if it's not sudden unless it reflects on them personally. It can't reflect on them personally if they don't get personally involved and just coast along instead.
