And yet Tumblr still seems overpriced!

Tumblr is a marquee brand that has started movements, allowed for true identities to blossom and become home to many creative communities and fandoms, Verizon Media CEO Guru Gowrappan said in a statement. We are proud of what the team has accomplished and are happy to have found the perfect partner in Automattic, whose expertise and track record will unlock new and exciting possibilities for Tumblr and its users.


I like that the website can depreciate that vastly yet the CEO still speaks highly of it.

The fact that Yahoo is still a thing (albeit part of another company now) despite bone-headed decision after bone-headed decision and security breach after security breach is a constant headscratcher. Apparently it's still pretty widely used, though.

Hahaha!

Fuck you, Verizon! Killed my AOL Instant Messenger, took away the only reason I ever used tumblr, and have a stooge heading the FCC to end net neutrality.

So awesome to see their crap come back to bite them, even just a little bit. And this loss is like a drop in the bucket to them, I know. But it still feels good! Fuck Verizon!

I thought the reason they survived at all was solely b/c they made one really good decision and bought up that Chinese online store (Alibaba?) while it was cheap, and its success pretty much was single handedly keeping the entire Yahoo conglomerate solvent?

The smart thing to do would be to allow porn again, build up the user base again, then sell it back to Yahoo for another billion.

I never understood the appeal of Tumblr, why would anyone bother using it for porn when there are numerous other sites better suited for that. Not like I know anything abut porn...

Tumblr is the Internet equivalent of an inflamed cyst in the lower intestine. It's made it very hard to enjoy fandom, and I'll not be sorry to see it cut out and flushed like the medical waste that it is.

It was more suited for following artists or "curators" resulting in a good feed as opposed to just throwing yourself into categories of porn like most websites

tbh, I wonder if the new owners could turn it around simply by bringing back porn.
