I feel very sad about the recent acquisition of Tumblr by Yahoo..
It is certain that in a few months my favorite blogging platform would be flooded by banners and advertisements. Freedom of speech, writing and any form of artistic expression is sure to be marginalized once again on the altar of profit.
Surely this will not happen immediately so as not to lose prospective customers …

The era of paid communication in social media slowly mutated into a voracious monster that is ready to absorb anything different that spoil the “good image” and standing as an obstacle to success and money.

Success … measured from the paid banners and likes in a globalized world that has ceased to communicate face to face ..

So I left tumblr . My new home for my articles is here (Medium) and my music site is based on Jekyll platform that is completely free..
