Is Tumblr doing fine financially?

I used to consume a lot of Tumblr content 10+ years ago, and back then it seemed a wonderful platform (pseudonymity, lack of censorship, little or no ads) but I haven't seen anything from it in a while, which makes me think it may be less popular and so less viable.

I would be happy if there's still a small bu thriving community over there, and I wish they'd gone ahead with activitypub support.

I don't know. I know their ad people have a hard time selling ads. They've been working to bring costs down. It might be profitable.

		Yeah I recall when they started porting it to WordPress's infrastructure and then gave up. But I think that doesn't imply their profitable, so Matt could wake up one day and shut it down.
