And so they were all over the free blogs & hosts despite all the drawbacks and the fact that it's just a bad approach.

But those guys are no longer around because porn's not seen as a quick money-maker. Those of us who use Tumblr are doing it for other reasons than because it's free (in fact if they offered some kind of content producer account most of would probably pay), and we have our own blogs/sites too of course.

So IMO the idea of the wannabe webmaster using free hosts because he doesn't have $50 laying around to start a business is long gone, let alone anyone who's a "veteran" as you say.

But... then I look at the sites still hosted on pornblogspace and think maybe I'm wrong on that score. Everything I clicked on there was utter & complete garbage spam though.
Yeah i noticed there is some nasty black hat experiments as well and possibly even malware installs(didnt bother to examine further,but when all pics in blog leads to one file with php extension it makes you go hmm).
But again is not lke tumblr blogs are something special,i think 99% porn blogs there are nothing else then just picposts.
