obedient monster: Some Yahoo Background So You Can Argue Intelligently →
Most of you guys are too young to remember Yahoo’s amazing history of buying and ruining companies! Here is a fun primer, which you can read while you try to figure out what site to run to after Tumblr explodes/is rendered unusable.
I personally am very interested to see who gets the worse end of this deal. Yahoo is terrible, Tumblr has never been profitable, but something something young people plus internet equals revenue. Probably. Maybe.
I wonder if we’ll all have to get Yahoo IDs like with Flickr. Oh, those halcyon days…
I still have my LJ account and will happily trot back to LJ.
I believe posterous or whatever it’s called functions a lot like Tumblr? Ask daveio.
It’s my not so secret wish people go back to LJ or Dreamwidth.

They want you to celebrate their culture with them. They are specifically inviting you to do just that. That’s not cultural appropriation that’s people being proud of their heritage and wanting to share it with others. Tumblr, look what the fuck you did.

Plot twist: David Karp is secretly from the Negaverse. Tumblr was the most successful energy-draining scheme to date.
this makes complete sense!
“Have you figured out a way to gather energy, Karp?”
“There is a group of women known as fangirls. I plan to create a website where they will pour their heart and souls into fandom related text posts and photo sets.”
Later…
“My plan is working perfectly!”

This is surprisingly accurate.
