It's not like porn was the life blood of Tumblr, nor was it even eliminated.
As it turns out, it actually was.
But supposedly this whole thing was just pitchforks and torches to begin with, since
Tumblr says nothing changed.

De-rep.
Yahoo alienated something like 10% of Tumblr's users with this. And that's just the percentage of NSFW blogs, not the percentage of people that view those blogs.
Only 10%?
Not really very much.

10% of 50 million active blogs is 5 million blogs.

I mean, speaking as someone that doesn't really care about NSFW blogs I couldn't give half a shit about the whole thing.
Obviously I'm in the minority, but the way everyone is making it sound is that "OMG EVERYONE'S BLOGZ R SHUT DOWN FAK YAHOO"

The reason why it's bullshit is because it was done needlessly. If Tumblr was more of a PG website, then I could easily understand them wanting to get rid of NSFW blogs. But Tumblr isn't for kids, therefore there is no real reason to start going after NSFW blogs. Hence the outrage.

The problem isn't "omg I wants my NSFW content!", go to google (or yahoo) search and look up all the porn you want. Also, "NSFW" doesn't have to be porn, that's just the first thing that comes to mind when people say NSFW. A lot of people mark their blogs as NSFW for having questionable content, strong opinions and that type of thing, NSFW isn't a synonym for boobies.
So 10% of 50 million is 5 million blogs, out of those 5 million there's probably a fair percentage who depend on that blog for their business / income. That's about to get raped. This is the real issue here. Though to be fair they should have started moving away from tumblr as soon as the news broke that yahoo was purchasing it.
