Somebody on Reddit posted a list of Tumblr's "partners" that they share data with by default: https://i.imgur.com/YCNvEMa.png

I'm finding it difficult to believe that they can come up with a "legitimate interest" for all of those that would also actually hold up in court.

Good lord. I’m glad we’re finally getting the chance to see just how pervasive this problem is.
I think those are just the members of the new IAB consent framework. This is how programmatic ads work, you "partner" with a bunch of ad networks and serve an ad from whichever is paying the most at that moment.
Twitter’s “partners” are the same (you can request a list from your privacy settings)
Google's as well.
