Yes? I check my Tumblr timeline pretty much every day - there's a lot of content there (and I only follow a handful of people.) Anyone suggesting Tumblr is dead is mistaken.
(And yeah, the daily posts are way down but that's after 8 years of neglect and mishandling. Any social network would suffer the same!)
- prionassembly 5y agoeverything2.com has new content everyday. Long tail != top brand.
- zimpenfish 5y agoAlexa currently has tumblr.com at 114 and Tumblr report about 12M posts a day this year - I'd say that probably still counts as a "top(ish) brand". For contrast, everything2.com is at 526113.
- isatty 5y agoTumblr went from >1B valuation to ~3M right after it was announced. It wasn't the 8y of neglect that did it.
- zimpenfish 5y ago> Tumblr went from >1B valuation Yahoo are not known for their savvy approach to acquisitions - they frequently paid well over the odds for the cachet of ownership until Verizon snapped them up. > to ~3M right But we don't know how much they were valued at when Verizon bought the Yahoo group in 2017. If they considered Tumblr only worth $3M then before they banned porn, then the porn ban has done nothing to the valuation. Anything else is just conjecture.
