** Persons involved in the iOS development community have begun to cast disdain on Apple, as the large amount of control it wields over the app store, the lack of organization and oversight, and the degree to which websites will malform in order to maintain a presence on said app store has been found to be a significant cause for the increasingly suffocating amount of censorship on places like Tumblr (though certainly not the only responsible party). Because app store availability can be removed at any time and is reviewed by one of any hundreds of human reviewers with no one clear standard for what constitutes, say, pornography, an app can be forced to be re-submitted dozens of times while its users suffer the consequences.

** After the porn ban, several new social media sites began to spring up, all clamoring to take Tumblr's place while highlighting themselves as a safe place for NSFW creators to congregate. Among them are newTumbl and Pillowfort. The latter suffered a significant security issue at one point that made the site go offline for a while, but soon they were back in business. Time will tell if any of these competitors will fill the void that Tumblr left behind.

** You will find many a person reporting that this "porn ban" cost the property a billion dollars. This isn't quite true, it was just the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. Though Yahoo bought Tumblr for a staggering $1.1 billion in 2013, an [[ExecutiveMeddling equally staggering amount of incompetence on the part of its developers]] (which is largely the reason Xkit and then New-Xkit were so popular), combined with a veritable wave of attempts to turn the once self-sustaining site into the "next big thing" and draw in bigger amounts of cash, essentially sealed its doom. The value of the site had been depreciating in larger amounts year by year as Yahoo, then Verizon, quickly proved they had no intention of fixing any of the problems plaguing the site[[note]]Tumblr stopped answering emails on its support or staff addresses a few years back and have been infamously deaf to any complaints. The purge and subsequent adult content ban were only finally enacted when Apple detected child pornography on the site and removed them from the app store, aka the MoneyDearBoy described above. This still largely failed to affect the problem, and if anything, an even larger wave of porn bots descended on the site in response.[[/note]]. Its sale to Automattic, who owns Wordpress, occurred for under $3 million, a GenerationXerox degree self-destruction that puts even {{Website/Myspace}} to shame.
