I legitimately don’t give a shit. Tumblr’s staff is staying in charge so not much should change other than financial backing etc.
I am indifferent and accept any of these 4 possibilities:
- Tumblr thrives with it’s new owner, servers get faster, less errors and downages, more fixes, new feature development etc. In which case YAY for improvement!
- Nothing changes. Everything stays the same. In which case YAY for familiarity!
- Tumblr loses some of its street-cred, and a lot of the pretentious too-cool-for-corporate
indiehipstersnobs leave the site. In which case YAY for less douchebags. - Yahoo fucks shit up, and the whole site goes downhill, and it sucks. In which case YAY I needed a push to get out of here and move on anyway.
But like I said, the staff is saying the same and operations shouldn’t change so most likely possibility #2 will be true.
