Like, two owners ago. Wordpress took Tumblr off Verizon's hands for $3 million USD, ~six years after Yahoo! bought it for $1.1 billion.
Where the fuck does yahoo even get money from to do this kind of shit at this point?
Rich people can always get money
The people can, but companies still need some kind of income to exist. The owners/ceos will just golden parachute away from the corpse
In order to tangibly pay employees/rent/servers a company needs either profits, subsidies, or ~~a ponzi scheme~~ inflated stocks.
