value of Tumblr

Yeah... I chuckled.

Tumblr got rid of the porn for the same reason most general websites get out of porn. Good guys in government law enforcement and intelligence agencies were intensely scrutinizing them. The operators freaked because they were being made aware that their attempts to mask every type of criminal communication from organized crime to international terrorist organizations wasn't working anymore, so they scuttle their porn haven which kills the insane level of bandwidth traffic that would mask the criminal communications.

Which begs we ask the question. If no one is paying out of pocket to use their sites, who is footing the dough to keep them operating?

So why does periscope still exist? 2,788 users live now in #talk, then you go in and there are like 30 broadcasts, most of which are months-old recordings. Where are the other 2,700 live broadcasters? They're all underage girls in private chat with Arabs, so they don't show up on the list.

Excellent question. I've got my ideas, but All digital information at some point moves through AT&T hardware and the NSA has offices at all the hubs.

$1.1B, banned the porn, and then sold it for $10M. Less than 1% of the purchase price.

That takes a special kind of talent.

Ignore these things. All these companies are from the Jew who controls the money printing machine. They never lose ... They have and make infinite money. The one who loses is the goyim

It depends (((who))) the major shareholders are. If they're mostly owned by a large financial group, then the money is infinite. If they start off loading it onto the plebs, then the infinite money is going to run out.

That is true that money laundering can cause things to be under valued and over valued in what they are exchanged for.

Art is often used to money laundering. If that isn't frequently misvalued I don't know what is.

That or it's value was that it was new and exciting. Then Yahoo failed to do anything interesting with it (as they would) and everyone realized that it wasn't worthwhile.

Valuation before it goes into a major company should be based on possibility. After a major company it should be in the actual incomes derived from it. The idea is that the major company should have turned it into a cash cow, but didn't, so it's real potential is relieved, none. Of course most things with entirely speculative value go to zero, because 1% of things with speculative value go to 100x or more.

Yahoo did not seem to understand where any of the trends were going.

If they had gone all in on Tumblr's media features adding full video hosting and easy live streaming to Tumblr it would have retained the vale.

Because Tumblr had outlasted Meerkat & Vine at this point. And as of this month Google removed the Hangouts on Air app that allowed easy streaming to YouTube.
