One would think, but apparently neither Yahoo nor Verizon made any effort in that direction.
To the tune of putting approx $1 billion through the corporate paper shredder.
Given that track record of handling, and an ostensibly similar approach, I thought it was a valid question.

Arguably, that happened June 20th, 2013, the day the Tumblr acquisition was closed.

Arguably, it happened throug gross miss-management.
Can you think of one good decision they made?
Who is they in this case? Tumblr leadership, Yahoo! leadership, Oath leadership, or Verizon leadership?

Yes.
That is literally the convoluted situation photomatt was trying to avoid.
I also think that the suggestion is hilariously naive. Presumably the founder/head of the company has considered a variety of incorporation structures.
