Woah, Tumblr is still around? I’m not surprised they’re losing that much money. They’re just caught in the middle of the short form journal of tweets/toots/threads and the photo blogging of IG.
It’s still around, and doing quite well at least from a community perspective. It’s an underdog platform and the users want to keep it that way for the most part. The problem, though, is that the staff don’t know how to monetize it properly. The thing they push the most is an ad-free subscriptions service which is already doomed to fail because everyone uses adblockers.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
