My understanding ftom a friend of mine is there is a 'groundswelling' for lack of a better term, to flounce off and crash the value of the company to achieve something similar to what happened to Tumblr 10 years ago when Yahoo overpaid for it and their user base got bent out if shspe. But I don't think the two situations are comparable. Tumblr was a victim of bad business practices. It wasn't (to my knowledge) being propped up by the government.
Say what you will about porn, but Tumblr definitely had a high porn userbase from the softest porn to the hardest shit.
It was a totally foreseeable result from banning all porn from a platform that had it so ingrained in its identity, so when no one started using it and they had a shocked Pikachu moment, it was kind of cringe.
Also, even the people who didn't use it for porn left. It's not very common that you take freedom from people that others don't leave too for fear that it'll affect them someday.
The userbase didn't get "bent out of shape" - Tumblr's new owners kicked the majority of their userbase off, while removing a major side-activity enjoyed across most subsections of the rest of the userbase. And they invented the phrase "female-presenting nipples", which pissed everyone off.
He can charge whatever the fuck he wants. If you don't like it, oh well.
I'm not even on there, I do not owe 8 dollars.
Get your own platform, they said.

Well Tumblr did have to take down all its pr0nz, just in time for Onlyfans and Patreon strippers to take the stage.

You don't even have to spend it if you don't give a shit about the checkmark
