- manigandham 9y agoWhy? How many people on Tumblr really care that Yahoo or Verizon owns it?
- JoshMnem 9y agoProbably a lot. See my other comment in this thread. Once the core users and thought leaders depart, all that is left is a zombie.
- dingo_bat 9y agoYou do understand that only a very small minority would have done that, right? This kind of behavior is irrelevant in the decline of tumblr.

(I also quit Instagram when Facebook bought it.) https://www.theverge.com/2013/5/20/4347730/yahoo-tumblr-acquisition-wordpress-import-increase-matt-mullenweg https://www.theverge.com/2013/5/20/4347730/yahoo-tumblr-acqu...
