I mean ever since they banned porn I personally haven't used it but is anyone actually using it for business purposes?

Not even a parasite since it's a web2.0

Not dead, just more niche now.

Once they banned porn I personally never went back there.

At some point, 90% of the ranking content from Tumblr was porn. They banned all adult content hoping to revive the platform. But they lost all of those creators, content, and traffic at once. It was a stupid decision. They could've filled the gap between Onlyfans & IG/Tiktok instead.

I think it still has some use, just not for every type of business. If your audience is actually on Tumblr, I’d give it a try.
