    Call me weird, but I only liked Tumblr for the AMA roleplay blogs (I lurked around, I didn't actually ask questions or dares). But a year after Yahoo banned adult content (and Automattic acquired it), things got pretty quiet. I don't think these kinds of AMAs and roleplaying are very active anymore.

    In 2022(?), Tumblr began to put up a login wall preventing you from getting very far in exploring posts or a blog's archive without an account. And then I guess Tumblr lost its magic.

    Not sure now...

Comments and Reviews

   
 Post comment/review
Comment summary: Tumblr receives mixed reviews. Users appreciate its sleek design, easy sharing capabilities, and suitability for running micro-blogs. However, concerns include excessive updates that disrupt usability, explicit content, and difficulties for serious blogging. Yahoo's influence is seen as negative, with users frustrated by policy changes and advertising. While some find it fun and engaging, others critique it as lacking substance or utility for professional use.

IMHO it is the a fabulous time killer and it makes much fun to browse pictures.

Tipp: Google for any keyword of your interest and add "tumblr" and you get dozens of ontopic pictures. Add /archive to the tumblr URL and you get a fullscreen overview of all pictures of an tumblr account.

Yahoo just finds new ways to mess up a working system. Everything they touch turns to crap.

Not sure now where to go to have a good time with roleplaying and/or AMAs. :/

i used to like when it was free to publish anything without censor. then yahoo changed the policy and turned it into a crap, sad and full of repetitive advertising.

Considerably horrible unless of course you’re a child or perhaps living in North Korea. I personally had 9 Tumblr accounts which were abruptly terminated, A simple warning would have sufficed. Three of my accounts were unjustifiably terminated while possessing not a single nude female or any policy violations whatsoever. I would be overcome with elation to witness the collapse of Tumblr.

Makes it super easy to run a nice micro blog.

ReviewJan 25, 2019

I do like it but is more of a social media platform, very little blocking even when content is inappropriate which I think it is their worst aspect. I don't see it as a serious platform where you can actually show your business.

What is Tumblr?

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. Whether it’s fandoms or philosophy, fashion or felines, Tumblr is where your interests connect you with your people.

EXPRESS YOURSELF — Post photos, GIFs, text, videos, live videos, audio, anything. — Make your own GIFs. Cover them in stickers and text, if you like.

BE YOURSELF — Look however you want. Customize your Tumblr’s colors, fonts, layout, everything. — Follow whatever topics you’re interested in. Find new ones you didn’t even know existed.

CONNECT WITH YOUR PEOPLE — Join millions of people in millions of communities across millions of #tags. — See something you love? Reblog it to your Tumblr and start a conversation. — Start a private conversation with your friends in messaging. — Or just follow, if you’re feeling shy. No big deal.

Live streaming of sporting events on Tumblr in the United States features Nielsen’s proprietary measurement software which will allow you to contribute to market research, like Nielsen’s TV Ratings.
