Because they killed porn tumblrs. That's why it's sold so cheap. Yahoo stepped on their own balls with that policy change.

These things are all great examples to pull up when somebody claims that you can't criticize large companies for making these decisions because they're working with more information and smarter support than you have. Back when they were first talking about banning porn every Cletus on the internet knew it would be ruinous.

Wait so uh does anyone actually not think Epstein was Mossad or some other intelligence service asset and the whole thing was a honeypot designed to get blackmail material on powerful people?? Zero explanations of where his money actually came from. Zero explanations of how his one man operation continued to do well despite him going to jail in 2008, the most turbulent financial year ever. Zero financial filings related to his company. Not to mention Acosta (the prosecutor who originally cut the Epstein deal in 2008): "He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition."

The quo vadis argument would lead us to suspect that Verizon's shareholders are also heavily invested in pay porn sites, but that's assuming it's a rational decision, and not a "Well we can't have Our Good Name associated with This Sort of Thing, harrumph harrumph" which seems vastly more likely.

Mr. Nice! posted:The porn on tumblr was apparently worth $1.097 billion. With this value set, I was looking for a GB of porn on tumblr stat for valuation purposes, but no dice. Really, it's not porn itself, it's a complete market loss to Insta, which they were gambling to try and unseat with no competitive advantage. IG has the data and the algorithm. They happen to also have owned the under 18 demographic. Yahoo made the choice to follow the IG lead in the third category, with no potential to take a lead in the first two. But then again, Yahoo bought their swing at a twentieth of what Facebook paid for IG, so maybe they thought there was room in the market for a modest competitor. Hindsight shows they were wrong.

Did you know that horny gamers will pay beaucoup bucks via Patreon for images of female characters from fighting games being hosed by anything you can imagine as long as they could rip the model data from another video game? I mean, of course you knew it in your heart, but I can confirm that it was all over Tumblr. That's what awaits you as a dude trying to find funny video game rants on Tumblr in the hopes it would make a funny article. I saw things nobody should ever see.

Chris Cuomo's an rear end in a top hat and so is his brother, NY Gov Andrew Cuomo. However, I thought all these Chud fucks liked guys that think they're tough and puff out their chest and make threats? Thought they liked the BIGLY MANLY MEN that need to puff out their chest to reassure themselves that they're masculine tough guys.

I would watch a show with Cuomo and James Oddo traveling around theatening to throw hands Edit: there was a time in this country where if you walked into a republicans office and insulted Obama or the Clintons he would threaten to throw you out a fuckin window https://youtu.be/a1iNH7W9SC8

Best Friends posted:The far right versus CNN feels like a pro wrestling beef, both in promotional intent and authenticity I'm convinced that CNN literally only exists to be a heel to fox news at this point. The questions asked during the last debate kind of tipped their hand imo. Any time I argue about my dad with politics anymore, he drops a "Where did you hear that, CNN?". It's their go-to boogeyman. Related to that, has anyone figured our a way to explain to older relatives the news source that is this forum/reddit/direct sources on twitter? These people wanted to buy bitcoin at its peak and fell for the guy calling them from Microsoft to remove viruses for their computer for 300$, but when it comes to using a verified twitter account as a reliable source you suddenly can't believe everything you read online.

They won't listen, but try talking about primary sources (immediate, first-hand accounts) versus secondary sources (one layer removed, generally they quote the primary source). A good example is the nuclear explosion. A lot of the researchers have been posting on twitter and other places way before the news organizations had enough information to go on, then the news orgs ended up quoting the researchers. It's been a few days since the explosion and the nightly news shows are just now getting to reporting about it now. Your relatives won't listen because they won't see the differences between a bellingcat and a COUNTRYMAGALOVER1776 or a Charlie Kirk making up random bullshit. Or, when it's an on-the-ground reporter for the NYT/WaPo making a tweet with information before the full story write-up, they'll just default to THEY'RE JUST SHILLS FOR KILLARY.

There's also a loving brick wall of motivated ignorance in this country. A whole big god drat lot of people want to hear about how 'the racism' is over and they're not the bad people that did it, and at the same time they want to hear about how everything is the fault of anyone that fails the paper bag test. Anything that goes counter to the simple pablum they get spoon fed to them by their preferred media sources is something they're emotionally motivated against understanding.
