- coralreef 7y agoDid you use Tumblr? It was the home of my personal blog, and I also used the mobile app. It was a poor experience lacking in engagement. Using Instagram and Reddit was much more fulfilling in creative and online social/community needs. Tumblr's numbers were flat lining before they removed porn. I know this because my friend was a Tumblr engineer and would share data from their all hands meetings.
- isoskeles 7y agoTumblr peaked (in google searches) in mid-2013: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=tumblr https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=t.... Peak Alexa rank was at #23 in August 2013 according to this: http://tumblr.com.alexarankdb.com/ http://tumblr.com.alexarankdb.com/ FOSTA became law in April 2018. So please explain to us how FOSTA was responsible for Tumblr's demise.
- bennesvig 7y agoI was a heavy Tumblr user until I discovered Reddit around then, which made it easier to find the same type of content with more consistency.
