~~Wait wtf. Automattic was sold in a fire sale?
When? Why? How?

They were not making money? I thought they had WordPress.com - that should be making pretty good right? Or paid plugins like jetpack - those gotta be making money.
How did this happen that they got sold in fire sale?~~

Edit oh. Ive read it wrong. Tumblr was sold in a fire sale, okok. Yeah I could see that.
