reminder that tumblr is now the failson of 90s internet sensation, Yahoo!



quote:

Yahoo has struggled to turn Tumblr, which has around 550 million monthly users, into a strong revenue-generating business. The goal was to bring a much-needed social network to Yahoo, whose core business of display advertising and search continues to deteriorate. Tumblr has launched advertising units and added video, to compete with services like Facebook’s Instagram, but Yahoo said the unit could face future declines.

Drops in Tumblr’s market share “could negatively impact the estimated future cash flows and discount rates used in the income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit,” Yahoo said in the filing, which “could result in an impairment charge in the foreseeable future.”

yahoo is hilariously out of touch so it's fitting that they own tumblr

their security team is called PARANOID and I get headhunters from them sometimes and they unironically call themselves "noids" and want me to "JOIN THE NOIDS" which is actually really sad and makes me think their business is failing

Hi Tumblr,

We’re all grappling with the influence that state-sponsored disinformation campaigns can have on our political conversations—and how wide-spread that interference turned out to be. So please take a moment to read this, think about it, and talk about it.

Last fall, we uncovered 84 Tumblr accounts linked to the Russian government through the Internet Research Agency, or IRA. These accounts were being used as part of a disinformation campaign leading up to the 2016 U.S. election. After uncovering the activity, we notified law enforcement, terminated the accounts, and deleted their original posts. Behind the scenes, we worked with the Department of Justice, and the information we provided helped indict 13 people who worked for the IRA.

don't have much to say really

I have a friend, former co-worker, he's nice but he's such a loving bullshitter I can't stand it. He got kicked out of the army for not doing his job and chronic poor performance (there's more, but I digress)

So he, being a loving bullshitter, writes to his senator directly about getting his discharge upgraded knowing that the senator would like to pay lip service to the troops and it worked, he got his discharge upgraded to "honorable" even though he 100% deserved to be kicked out and it kinda put us on bad terms because IMO he cheated the system and I lost a lot of respect for him

anyway, now he is one of the major players at yahoo security (Paranoid) ie: a guy who got kicked out of the army for negligence is now making decisions about security at yahoo/oath

Yeah but my point is unless you feel like posting every single gif on r/tipofmypenis you aren't going to find out where that porno is from unless people are just jacking off to gifs or something

You remember when pyf had porn threads and you could mention something incredibly specific and get an answer instantly with s recommended playlist

That's basically 4chans /r/ all the time. That's literally what it exists for. It rules.

well there's more to the story. he's also a womanizer who was cheating on his fiance until I told her about it

I lost respect for him because of how completely shameless he was about lying to his fiance and how frequently he cheated

he's not a great person imo

oh also he sometimes does meth
