https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/08/technology/verizon-yahoo-deal-layoffs.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/08/technology/verizon-yahoo-... Tumblr is a goner, make no mistake about it. Glad the founders could get free money from Marissa as she didn't know what to do with yahoo's.

They could always buy it back for a few bucks after Verizon has utterly destroyed it due to incompetence.

There's no mention of Tumblr in that article, and 2100 people constitutes a large number but ultimately a low percentage of the folks who work for Yahoo and for all its subsidiaries.

Mayer knew exactly what to do with Yahoo: convert it into money. That's what people wanted and that's what she did.
