It wasn’t advertising-friendly, so it was only a matter of time before it became racist too.

Tumblr seems to make enough to keep the lights on, which doesn't make sense since their content is all high def images and must be expensive to run. They're just as advertising-friendly as Twitter, although they are even more incompetent at running ads.

They also had more young subcultures that liked spending money, so native advertising like Instagram should've worked. The only young people who like consumerism on Twitter are the kpop fans, everyone else is a communist.
