The market will soon realize that legacy centralized tech was a bullshit bubble, and crypto is what the internet should have been from the start

Based. Also women ceo’s Are mostly a meme they serve a better purpose with a family or charity or some shit

>>15222503
One of the reasons Tumblr dropped so bad was because they banned porn.
One of the dumbest mistakes I've ever seen for a social platform.

>>15222498
I wonder if that had anything to do with the fact that they have a female ceo.

>>15222498
Shouldn't have banned porn. Furries made up for 99% of the traffic.

>>15222498
>>Yahoo paid over $1 billion dollars for Tumblr
>>they sold it today for $20 million dollars
>JUST
that's what happens when you put a woman in charge

>>15222599
>One of the reasons Tumblr dropped so bad was because they banned porn
you know a woman made this decision

yahoo used to be my shit, I loved playing word racer

>>15222498
kek. Did their worth collapse because they lost half their users after the porn purge and now nobody gives a fuck about the site anymore?

>>15222584
Wow

>>15222599
Yeah but they never made money off porn, or anything. I think their only monetization before Yahoo bought them was a marketplace for "premium" page themes. They just burned through VC cash to "build a userbase" while simultaneously repelling potential users.
It's bizarre but Tumblr was once seen as being Twitter's chief rival. Yahoo paid the same amount, at about the same time, for tumblr as Jewberg paid for Instagram.
The sale was brokered by this creature.

Am a furry, can confirm. They had a good thing going with the multimedia microblog format, also it was by far the easiest porn site to make rips of using tumblrOne. Now most artists have fled to twitter and they bury their porn underneath 50 daily tweets about their bowel movements, antifa, pride, retweets, etc and there's no way to weed that shit out when you rip a twitter using ripme. Fucking garbage.

yahoo had the chance to buy google for 5 billion. they instead bought broadcast.com for 5.7 billion. literally paid 5.7 billion for a domain

>>15223263
Tits or gtfo roastie

Rekt! Didn't Yahoo also buy that company from Mark Cuban which also tanked. How are they still a business

>>15223628
They aren't. They hired a cupcake princess who had previously been fucking one of the founders of Google to run their company and she ran it into the ground.

Years earlier they had invested in Ali Baba, though, and people used Yahoo to trade Ali Baba shares before it was a public company.

Eventually Yahoo's value as a company had declined to even less than the value of the Ali Baba stake they owned. Then Verizon bought it, and almost gagged because it turns out nearly every user of Yahoo Mail had been hacked and they hushed it up for a year. It was quite amazing and maybe represented an even greater destruction of wealth than some of the wild newspaper buys pre-2008. Like when the NYT bought the Boston Globe for a couple billion and then sold it for like $50 million a year or two later. Yahoo bought companies and then actively destroyed them (flickr, delicious, tumblr).

>>15223687
>she ran it into the ground
Y was already a trainwreck when Marissa arrived tbf. MS wanted to buy them for about $50b, Jerry Wang (founder and CEO) refused, got replaced - was more or less a straight line marked by increasingly incompetent CEOs from there all the way down to Meyer

>>15222874
Pretty clearly not, look at AMD. Did a 17x under Lisa Su

>>15222498
>constantly and methodically deconstruct the site and its userbase from what originally drew people to it
>wonder why everybody left and how you're standing with egg on your face and an empty bag
Is Yahoo the stupidest company still in existence? I mean, their finance and homepage shtick is still pretty good, but good God, every other venture they've tried has been nothing short of disastrous.

>>15222498
They’re clearly students of the /biz/ school of investing.

>>15222498
How is yahoo still alive Their skills are soooo bad

amazing ,you have to be pretty stupid to kill such a golden goose.I kinda want to see the same thing happen to reddit but Im worried that they will all come here if it happens.>>15222503 is right and all of this centralized tech is responsible for all the pc crap censorship.
imagine the power that those sites have in regard to the shaping of the public opinion.

>>15223871
Lisa Su is an honorary white male.

>>15222498
Friendly reminder that the CEO who made that acquisition was the highest paid female ceo

how much is 4channel worth?

>>15222498
dam, it took /b/ several years but it looks like they finally destroyed tumblrr

>>15222599
Tumblr was under FBI investigation for hosting the internet's largest surface web child porn database. Literally, pedos had invested the site to the point it was so bad the FBI had to setup an office inside Tumblr's HQ and work for about 5 months.

No fucking way isn't tumblr still kinda big?

>>15225579
Wow I guess not.

>>15225558
Do they really need to set up inside the hq just to investigate themselves?

>>15225505
More than any of us realise. I imagine when Sergey is a billionaire he'll buy 4chan(nel) and make every board /link/.

>>15223449

Wow

>>15225558
It looked something like this

>>15225646
Cringe. LINK NEET fanfic is cancerous

>>15222498
Tumblr was an illuminati psy op to turn young girls into sluts. They banned porn to hide their tracks, and they don't give a fuck if they lose money, because it worked. Tumblr was literally created to start a civil conflict in the USA, by child molesting technocrats, and if you think different you're on seven levels of retard.

>>15225505
A lot for spying agencies
FBI and Mossad knows every single Israel enemy who posts here

kek

This piece of crap has literally 20 years losing money how are they still running I don't get it. They bought Mark Cuban's bags for 5 FUCKING BILLION DOLLARS instead of FUCKING GOOGLE

And now this? Wtf where does the money comes from...

>>15222599
tumblr had such good nice shit too. fuckers.

>>15225815
Same question.
Yahoo had several opportunities to be bigger than Apple and Microsoft combined and they wasted it all.

>>15225828
>google
>chomo
Zero results.

> it's actually 3 million
JUST
tumblr is such a shitcoin

>>15223076
>Since July 2013 and its acquisition by Yahoo, Tumblr has progressively restricted adult content on the site
>Marissa Ann Mayer was CEO of Yahoo! from 2012-2017
checks out

>>15225865
there's no way tumblr sold for 3mil, wtf?

>>15225881
maybe that's because the site has never made money since it's born

Buy high sell low.

>>15225865
Fuck we could have crowd funded its takeover

Rate my plan
>buy Tumblr
>host it on North Korea with Kin's blessings
>turn Tumblr into a CP website
>charge a $10 monthly fee for every user
>give half of the money to Kin
>???
Become the first multi-trillionaire

>bought high sold low

Is Yahoo, dare I say, /ourguy/?

>>15225934
But what would we do with that shit?
I can only think on using it to mine crypto but it isn't profitable enough to break even.

>women CEOs
>making Tech decisions based on social justice virtue signalling

What a stupid comment
Try running a blockchain or a totally decentralized system on anything less than 2020s technology and you get what we have today
Hurr imma run a node and connect to the blockchain on my dialup connection

>>15226137
Short any company with a female CEO.

>>15223300
Funny how they both roughly paid the same price for such big platforms and one is dying without any good monetization and the other continues to grow with pretty nice concept on monetizing.
Just goes to show yahoo seems to keep on failing on so many business fronts..

Porn isn't appealing to advertisers, banning porn was just a last resort to see if something would stick.
The truth is that Tumblr was never worth that much, frequentation doesn't correlate with high valuation, 4chan is the perfect example.
Besides tumblr failed to make it to the smartphone market like instagram did.

>>15228548
You know anon that you can make 5x more from porn ads over conventional ones?

>>15225685
It is sad, because one can not even tell if this is true or a joke.

>>15228565
Maybe for your homemade streaming website but we are talking about tech giants here.

backroom deals

bet some yahoo executivies got paid off very well behind the scenes
