I was playing with Magna-Tiles with my son one Sunday, and we had built this giant kind of castle complex, and it collapsed. And my son was crestfallen. I stopped, and I said: “There’s nothing to be upset about. We built it and it worked once, and we’ll just rebuild it.” When I said that to him, I realized that’s how I felt about Yahoo. You’re rebuilding something and you know that it worked once, so it should be able to work again.

That said, I would say one of my key learnings from Yahoo is that timing is everything. There was a time when Yahoo’s offerings could consume hours a day, and trying to regain that moment in time was really hard. We could make the products really good, but regaining that contextual relevance that was afforded to Yahoo in 1999 and the early 2000s was difficult.

“We built it before,” she says, staring at her phone, “ do it again.”

Just off the top of my head, they paid like $10 million per year for Katie Couric. Newsflash - people on the internet don't give a fuck about Katie Couric reading the news.

How many people who are now internet stars could she have bought for $10 million back when she hired Katie Couric? She probably could have gotten Ben Shapiro, Bill Simmons, the Skimm, etc. She had the money to dominate the internet she just didn't understand it.
