        2. @pony That they're leaving, or that Yahoo bought Tumblr?

          1. @ceruleanspark I was curious about the latter, but I might be curious about the former if I knew who exactly was leaving.

            1. @pony Nobody's leaving that matters.

            2. @pony Historically, Yahoo has not treated purchases well. Flickr is the example typically rolled out. After the buyout they started messing with the plans, the layouts, and eventually the entire login required that you have a yahoo account in a heavy handed attempt to boost subscriber numbers. After all that, it was really just left to stagnate and slowly fade into semi-obscurity.
