- teraflop 11y agoTechnically, the curator of that Tumblr account created it to criticize acquihires, not shutdowns in general. From the "What is an incredible journey?" page: > Companies go broke all the time. It’s unfortunate and it may mean a service you love will close. But some things just don’t work out. [...] This is what is galling. A company that can afford to pay millions for some new staff but not for what those staff built. The people who used the service, and invested their belief and time in uploading photos, or forming friendships, or logging data, are left to find new virtual homes while their former hosts enjoy a nice (if possibly delayed) payday. -- http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/post/89180616013/what-is-an-incredible-journey http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/post/89180616013/what... Although admittedly, from an end-user's perspective, the effects are the same no matter the reason for the shutdown.
