i want your opinion on this, do you think this plataform is decaying everyday a lil bit? idk i just dont see nearly half as much original content as i used to see, lots of graphics makers stoped and i felt that some fandoms got reduced to a few gif makers and artists, which the later are more active on other sites anyway, and idk it makes me sad when i remember how full this site was of creative people :c
I mean yeah, probably! Unless Tumblr makes the right changes and understands the audience, I can see it fading off (not for good, I think it will still be a populated platform). I’m probs not the best to ask since I personally have fallen off Tumblr these past few years even though I was SO INTO IT back then making animated manga graphics like every week TG would release a new chapter (pretty sure when I publish this ask all my followers are gonna be like who dis LOL). I know a crap ton of people left and went to Twitter and Insta when Yahoo! banned NSFW content here.. not sure what it’s like now under new owners.
I feel like for a lot of us, or maybe just me, making gifs and graphics of anime all the time just burnt us out and we found it easier to just tweet about it instead and so moved on. Notes and reblogs became less meaningful to me and graphics became a burden. I definitely cannot make graphics as much as I used to since I work full-time, and I’m sure as more and more users get older, the same will happen unless they have the means to produce their own creative content to post (fanart, merch, fanfics, etc.)
I do miss what it was like a few years ago with all the cool and new graphics and gifs, but as you said, it doesnt feel the same anymore except for a handful of people who still make content. I’m not sure Tumblr will pick up again but it’s not like it’s dead! Enjoy the people you follow here and also enjoy them elsewhere on other social platforms. Theres always creative content out there you can enjoy!
