I think one could make a decent case the Verizon should turn Tumblr into the social networking non-profit similar to Mozilla is for web browsers where Tumblr would embrace compatibility and open standards for social networking.   Tumblr is unlikely to become profitable because its user bases is not rich and the nsfw content tends to scare advertisers. Verizon runs many content businesses which could be harmed if Facebook captures the entire attention market. By encouraging a commodification of social networking through open standards, more of the customers money/attention will be available for the content businesses.

I’m not sure many people would donate to Tumblr though.

there might be other revenue possibilities besides advertising, a Patreon-style system, perhaps

Hold on, a Patreon-like system built into Tumblr?

I have no idea what the effects of that would be, but given the number of artists and other content creators on Tumblr…
