I feel like the Yahoo! Employees are going to show up like “hey guys don’t say that my mummy says I’m special” and within a week we would have been so horrible they’d literally just give us back. Like a new kid at a school who doesn’t know the way things work. “Oh hell no. There is a fine balance here between the different blogs and our content. Fuck that up and we fuck you up”

everyone on tumblr:  let others RIIIIISE TO TAKE OUR PLACE UNTIIIL THE EARTH IS FREEEEE
yahoo:  *buys tumblr*
everyone on tumblr:  *holds hands and falls out the window*

livestarry-eyed:

I think Yahoo vastly underestimates the amount of internet snarkiness, such as passive-aggressive memes and .gifs involving sloths and displeased cats, it will receive should tumblr go south.

Tumblr has actually shut down some popular sites as it has shifted its focus from users to advertisers

These are the true questions of matter.
