If Apple permanently banned Tumblr from the App Store, we’d probably have to shut the service down.

I'm not finished reading but this sounds like a bunch of shit to me. If this is true it is only because they force people to use the app by sabotaging their own web page. Tumblr has been dead since Verizon took over, it's legacy is pervasive infinite scroll throughout the internet.




I mean ~300mil MAU isn't exactly dead. If it were a country it would be as big as the US.


Sure. I meant tumblr died in spirit, or tumblr as we knew it died, or tumblr died and a new entity with the same entity took it's place, or the old tumblr died.
