If the goal is to acquire talent, and yet, keep Tumblr running, how is that talent benefiting Yahoo's current offerings?
Add to that the relief of financial exist for most of the stakeholders, how can you possibly keep motivated people around? This is almost reckless spending for Yahoo! shareholders.
It can't possibly be for talent. As an armchair advisor I'd have to guess that Yahoo might be looking to buy its own social network to compete with G+ and Facebook.
Maybe someone at Yahoo has figured out a way to monetize Tumblr or something like Tumblr.
