one of the funnier morbid things about the tumblr ceo meltdown was when someone said he should do a lowtax, but somehow this guy is not Internet enough so he actually thought it was the politician whose nickname lowtax got his username from, and asked why people wanted him to die of a heart failure in his 40s leading to a lot of people going, technically when there's a hole in your head you do die from heart failure

That's for the best. Unless you bring in MrBeast numbers it is aggressively opposed to you profiting off of it and even then you've got to play the game so rigorously it sucks out all possible joy.

i've always been fascinated by how much popular online messageboards and forums would go for. $13 million for SA is utterly insane and while I'm sure it reached in the millions, I dunno if it would be that high. for comparison, it was said (allegedly) that neogaf at its peak had a $7.5 million offer, and resetera was recently sold for $5 million

Friends Reunited (which was basically a message board with a couple of extra features glued to it) got bought for £120m in 2005. And then got sold for £25m in 2009. And then valued at £5m in 2011. It's very funny that anyone paid £120m for it.

Meanwhile we were all laughing at the absurdity of Facebook buying Instagram for an entire $1 billion, and now that purchase is one of the primary reasons that Meta is still a company.

My favorite assessment of the Tumblr CEO situation was a Tumblr post explaining that the CEO is currently having a nonstop meltdown that all of his employees are vocally opposed to and destroying his reputation over a “Looney Tunes level threat.”

Uhhh, no one in this thread has mentioned that, it was just a tag (mildly) trending on Twitter.

Do you remember where you are? Do you smell burnt toast? Should I call an ambulance?

If I delete my Twitter, how will I stay on top of the important issues of the world? Like earlier today when Sleephunk accused Marbian Jones of being a wokist because she liked a tweet by the creator of Peblum Pals. Without Twitter I wouldn’t know about the ongoing Peblum Pals situation at all!!!
