Tumblr being just for porn is mostly a meme. I have used Tumblr for many years, not for porn, but for art and lifestyle content, and memes. It actually took me a few years to find out that Tumbler had tons of extremly high quality free porn.

Thr hugh amouts of porn give creatives a certain security that their works won‘t be deleted for nudity and such.

Well, as of the last announcement, "gave". The NSFW thing seems to be throwing out the baby with the bathwater, particularly since the way they are flagging content seems to be error-prone.

In terms of content quality, tumblr is sort of what Pinterest has always aspired to be.

I got into Tumblr because I wanted to follow my favorite author.

The content you see on Tumblr is determined by who you follow. If you use Tumblr and only see porn, it's because you're only looking for porn.
