So Internet, do you have any thoughts about the Yahoo-Tumblr buy out?

suggestion box yumblrIt should surprise no one that the elite of Tumblr are less than thrilled about the Yahoo buyout. The blogging-meets-social platform’s more loyal and dedicated users are of a … how shall I put this … younger-than-Yahoo demographic.

It’s also quite easy to completely delete your Instagram, although we wouldn’t recommend this latter option if you plan on returning to the platform at a later date.
