As my friend said: "I love watching Yahoo spend nine figures on things only to offhandedly gut them like a child playing with sharp knives."

A great line. But maybe Yahoo is playing with dull knives, as it seems to achieve maximum pain for minimum gain.

One could also argue they're holding their knives backwards, so in addition to being causing damage by using the knife improperly they're also cutting their hands up by bleeding money.

I'd characterize it as a knife with no handle.

More like a knife with a blade as a handle.

They grasp the knife firmly by the blade, and disembowel with the dull handle.

Dull razor blades?

Eh, the tumblr community as a whole has always squealed extremely loudly about stuff, and the status of nfsw content has always been a bit hit and miss.
What seems to me to be the key difference is that now they're owned by yahoo, the latest grudge match between tumblr and its users is news rather than business as usual.
