      I think there are many others one could point to more accurately, including Yahoo who purchased and then resold tumblr.

      While Tumblr has made a lot of changes, some of which were walked back, they are still a well used and beloved site today. There are many now-dead or barely alive behemoth Internet companies that are better examples of “poster child for running a terrible Internet business” imo.

    Hehe, denial of service for no reason beyond forced data collection is so quirky! Yeah, capitalism is squeezing the life out of modern culture, but in a fun way!
