Tumblr is a profit sink, so Verizon will sell it off just like Yahoo did and just like Karp did to yahoo before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin_bebop Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Well, yep. It's because they were bought by Verizon, and Verizon has a traditionally traditional stance on pretty much everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
