Broke girl ---> exotic dancer
Broke web corp --> tumblr

Oh, goody! While thumbing along my tumblr dashboard earlier today, I couldn't help but think, "You know what this needs? The sort of irrelevance and hamfisted monetization schemes only a aging tech giant from the early 2000s can bring."

NOOOOOO! They better not come for my tumblr porn blog!

Great. Then like everything Yahoo! touches, tumblr will turn to ash.

Most pressing question: how in the unholy fuck does Yahoo still have a billion dollars?

Yahoo's motives aside, you know they will end up destroying tumblr.

I'll browse tumblr now and again, but I don't get how it gets away with the business of hosting copyrighted images without consent, which probably makes up 99% of its content.

@6, Yahoo is not exactly open-minded and liberal, historically speaking, and given how much of tumblr's content is "adult" (by which of course I mean nominally adult but we all know it's posted and consumed primarily by teenagers) there is no way this won't be a disaster all 'round.

@7

Probably because that's what 95% (absolutely accurate figure, I ran it through my scienceometer) of the rest of the web is doing, and it's being passed around by chump users who aren't exactly profiting from it, and you could probably get something taken down if you really wanted and brought your lawyers to bear.

Well, it had a good run.

True, just surprised such a high-profile company hasn't come up against someone like Conde Nast or Time Warner. Perhaps it boils down to the fact that photographers don't have an equivalent to the RAAA representing them?

@4, naw, yahoo fantasy football is good

This is gonna suck.
