Does This Look Like the Face Of The 26 Year Old Squid Who Invented Tumblr and Just Sold It To Yahoo For 1.1 Billion Dollars?

 

Dailymail - David Karp, the 26-year-old founder of blogging site Tumblr, has just made to make a lot of money – almost in spite of himself. Yahoo’s board of directors agreed on Sunday to buy his wildly popular blogging platform, which boasts 100million users and 90million posts per day, for $1.1billion cash. The deal could make the native New Yorker the latest 20-something tech billionaire, even though he was publicly opposed, even just last year, to selling the company he founded out of his mother’s small Manhattan apartment in 2007.On Sunday afternoon, it was revealed Yahoo’s board approved the purchase of Tumblr, despite its revenue of only $13million last year. Even that figure was only made possible after $125million in capital investments. Tumblr, which is a mico-blogging platform for quickly posting pictures, text and video, also functions as a social media site. Its platform manages to blend elements of all of the major social networking sites. Sharing and posting photos and simple and easy, like Instagram. Gifs moving images, pictures, and videos are all easy to share. But, users follow other Tumblr blogs and compile news feeds, making the site similar to Facebook and Twitter.

I fucking hate this kid. 1.1 billion for Tumblr? Really? Hey squid can you even write a funny blog bro? I mean if anybody should be getting paid billions here it should be me. Like how can this clown be worth 1.1 billion real dollars while I’m sitting here with a thumb up my ass only worth 2 million internet dollars? I mean is internet dollars even a real thing? I still haven’t figured that shit out yet.

It just doesn’t seem right fair does it? Seriously who even uses Tumblr? Shit sucks. You know what my curse is don’t you? It’s that god made me a comedic genius as opposed of a tech genius. Like imagine if I knew how to code shit and spent the last decade being a dork instead of being hilarious? That would be me driving the Porsche.

PS – I was going to rip this guy for being this rich and not having a hotter girlfriend, but she does kind of remind me of Rachael Leigh Cook from She’s All That so I’ll let him slide.
