I don't think most people associate Tumblr with porn. If you weren't searching for it, you weren't likely to find it.

I used Tumblr, and didn't know it was used for porn until the complaining when Verizon banned it.

In my circles, it’s been a running joke since about 2014 that the porn was the only quality content left.

Like I said, if you weren't searching for it, you wouldn't normally find it. Probably applied to other content there as well.

My point is not that Tumblr is necessarily all porn in terms of content. It's that if it's owned by a porn company, other companies wouldn't want to be associated with it.
