TUMBLR CANNOT EXIST ON ALMOST $0 PROFIT. YOU FUCKERS WOULDN’T PAY TO HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION OR PREMIUM ACCOUNT. YOU ALL CRY WHEN ADS APPEAR SO TUMBLR CANNOT MAKE MONEY BECAUSE YOU FUCKS.
OF COURSE IT WOULD BE BOUGHT OUT! YOU ASSMONKEYS WON’T LET IT MAKE MONEY TO SURVIVE
What surprises me is that any company would actually want to buy this festering shit hole of a website.
It has the potential to make money, but they need a parent company badly so they can get ad traction or something. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft are all enemies of Tumblr so they’re 50 shades of fucked without this Yahoo deal.
Yahoo and Google: burn them both to the ground.
I don’t mind it because Tumblr is hemorrhaging money and relying solely on investments. Anything else is negligible in terms of profit.
We can’t have a website that can’t financially sustain itself.The problem is, as the picture above states, Yahoo ruins everything it touches. Tumblr will be the same because Yahoo lacks the foresight to plan for the future when buying something they see as successful. Yahoo thinks it will just make money by itself. Google AT LEAST knows how to turn a profit on its investments, but they have to integrate EVERY LITTLE FUCKING THING.
Yahoo didn’t kill those companies oh my god. They were in the same boat as Tumblr where they made no money and Yahoo couldn’t turn a profit on those. Yahoo buys companies that will surely lose money and tries to save them. Google doesn’t make profits on 90% of their products. Android, Docs, Youtube, +, Gmail, and a few others all lose money. Google operates as a loss leader for the sake of monopoly purposes and ad revenue where literally 95% of their income comes from.

A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:
“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features. One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market. By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users. Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way. It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community. With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users. Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily. A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated. By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.
To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger. I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed. No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users. Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil
As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility. I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.im laughing because every single comment on that article says its a terrible idea. not one person agrees and that’s saying something

Yahoo has reverse Midas touch, everything they come into contact with turns to shit.
Yahoo and Google: burn them both to the ground.

White people get mad when you wear a band t shirt of a band you don’t listen to, but they’re fine with wearing headdresses from cultures they know and care nothing about.
Merchandising is not the same as “cultural appropriation” you fucktard
Farmer Jenkins went too far.
In England they don’t say “i love you” they say “oi oi givvus a snog u cack ‘anded slapper” and I think that’s really something something the rest of the quote
fuckyeahladies-fictionalandreal:
You, stop scrolling, we need to address some things about Hyperbole and a Half writer Allie Brosh. Think calling her the voice of a generation is going too far? Bullshit. This woman is one of the most real, relatable, creative, funny, and vulnerable writers of all time. From the pants-wettingly hilarious God of Cake to the needed-to-said-but-everyone’s-too-afraid-to-talk about it Adventures in Depression, Allie’s posts have genius pacing and are fantastic at highlighting the wonderful idiosyncrasies that make her who she is. She’s willing to let us in to aspects of her life that she doesn’t even understand so that people going through similar things can feel less fucking alone in a world that vilifies and over simplifies the complexities of mental illness. Allie doesn’t smile for you, or hand you bullshit platitudes because that. doesn’t. fucking. help. She’ll laugh when she’s damn well ready to laugh and she’ll cry when she damn well needs to cry, and you’ll do both with her because she speaks to the parts of all of us that we thought were too weird and too complicated to be understood.
Allie is the queen of the internet.
And she’s one smart lady too.
