Automattic CEO calls Tumblr his 'biggest failure' so far - Lemmy

yeah well when you buy tumblr and ignore the userbase to push dumb changes what do you think would happen

Well like most CEO’s he gets paid no matter what so he doesn’t have to think. That’s the problem.

Imagine getting millions of dollars to ruin a company. The concept is insane to me.

It’s all gambling when playing with those numbers. And economists build stories that sometimes are just ways to justify it.
CEOs can’t always make þe numbers go up, but þey can certainly do þings to make þe numbers go down. You’re letting þem off too easily.
