Yahoo bought Tumblr for completely irrational reasons years ago and it became dead weight.

Of course now they can't split it back off to live on its own - they'll just kill it instead.

Its career suicide to sell off a property that ends up successful once independent of your business.

Nobody thinks twice about burning something to the ground, though. Thats just a cost of doing business.
