You may or may not be aware that the Yahoo component of Yahoo is worthless (actually worse less than nothing) while the stake in BABA exceeds the value of the whole thing. NOTE: she also had nothing to do with the decision to buy into BABA.
She did however, buy Tumblr (huge failure), ruled against remote work, drove a mass exodus of engineering talent, oversaw Flickr's hideous decline, and sat in the leadership seat for multiple hacks.
About the only thing she can claim is that she didn't commit fraud.
- scholia 9y agoShe also made all Yahoo's products dramatically worse -- at least, she ruined the ones I used via the web. That applies to Flickr, Email and Yahoo Finance in particular. The general approach appeared to be to make things look prettier while destroying their usability. If there was anything she actually improved, I missed it.
