The author of this story later said that the price was $3 million but the story hasn't been updated. In any case, lol

In other words, Tumblr was sold for about 2% of what Verizon paid for it. They took a loss of $1.08 billion dollars. We live in a meritocracy.

I'm just somewhat worried I lose all my content now since its worth to the company must be about 0.000001$. I mean, on lots of blogs you can't even access tags anymore.

I mean, let's not discount the corporate mismanagement prior to pornban, though it certainly was an unique masterstroke.
