    They absolutely should but advertisers wouldn’t like that.

        The users don’t pay. Thus the dilemma.

          The answer: better porn?

          I think we are getting ready to. At least I am paying for Kagi search and Fastmail and it’s very much worth it. :)

      Partially true: they want to bring it back but payment processors wouldn’t like that (the post i am linking is from the CEO of Tumblr’s parent company, who bought it from Verizon in 2019)

        Oh yeah, I forgot but I had heard something about it around that time. Shame.

        I don’t get why credit card companies have beef with porn though…

          ostensibly it’s because the porn industry is unstable financially, and connected to a lot of shady issues/illegal practices that could open them up to some kinds of liability. (I don’t remember which sorts)
