“Yahoo didn’t just buy a company, it validated, to the tune of a billion dollars, the notion that bad business is worth pursuing. The entire concept of what makes something a good idea continues to be inverted, warped, and thrown in a gully. This is the idea economy, remember—the industry of fantasy. It doesn’t have to “make sense.” Money isn’t valuable. Success isn’t lucrative. Profit is pointless. These are the industry’s norms. All you need do to become a billion-dollar business is make people entertained and vaguely interested.”

More from the article:

Money has a strange way of catching up with you in the real world—especially running out of it. A source with close ties to Tumblr told us that the company only had enough cash to last another six months before going broke, at which point its investors would’ve floated it only in exchange for serious changes—changes that headstrong Karp would have of course balked at. Changes that ultra-idealistic Zuckerberg accepted, along with adulthood, in order to keep his dream decidedly his, in order to avoid selling to, say, Yahoo.

    snagamat replied to your post: How about no one is allowed to upload attractive…

    a new tumblr aesthetic. only upload unattractive images of ourselves. i mean, i’ve already started that!

    I think it could catch on. And yeah, I’ve also made plenty of headway in the unattractive photos of myself department. We can spearhead a new movement. Someday it will dominate all of the internet.

    Sounds good. Here’s a start.

You can’t NOT reblog this. It’s like the Tumblr After Dark/Night Blogger Logo. It’s like our fucking Bat signal.

    You look rather tired, are you pretending to love? Well I hear that it pays well. How do your pistol and your Bible and your sleeping pills go? Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?”
