Didn’t Verizon just buy Tumblr? I thought that was the reason for all the purged accounts.

Verizon bought Yahoo, who bought Tumblr a while back.

Tumblr lost a lot of value and users under yahoo and more under verizon. Now Tumblr is being sliced off and sold.

Ah, ok. Thanks!

I see that they plan to continue banning adult content. sigh...

Yeah, that sucks. I think they plan to cannibalize the code and data.
