What fuels u to keep using tumblr
Okay I could write a 20 page paper about why this place is more desirable than other platforms but :
Chronological post order
No influencers or corporate personalities
Aggressive monetization & marketing strategies don’t work here
Nobody knows how many followers you have (this is a good thing, trust me, if I had it my way, you wouldn’t even be able to see the number of likes/comments/shares of a post without being its creator)
General anonymity - no pressure to share personal information but the option is always there
Recycled content, this website’s like the radio of social media. Old hit posts from the early 2010s regularly come back in circulation, and trends here actually have staying power. The trends are also organic and not made to sell a song or popularize a product for exactly 1.5 months like tiktok trends that everyone rapidly forgets.
Unlike with Twitter, faceless accounts here are undeniably real people sharing content they like with no incentive to promote products or brands. If somebody gives general advice here, you can be almost certain that it’s not sponsored (and therefore biased toward a certain solution)
Same, and no one sees who you follow if you don’t want them to
