According to their stats page, they have 135 million monthly active users: https://www.tumblr.com/press https://www.tumblr.com/press , about a third of what either Reddit or Twitter claims.
I'm also willing to bet that they have a measurably lower proportion of bots than most other social networks, if only because the perception that Tumblr is irrelevant makes them less attractive as a target.
- azertykeys 4y agounfortunately, there are many, many bots.
- kevingadd 4y agoBot spam on Tumblr is rampant even if you don't have many followers or post much.
- zimpenfish 4y agoAnecdata: I have few followers, directly post maybe once every couple of months if that, reblog a few posts a week, and I have no problem with bot spam posts - can't say that I even remember seeing one. Bot spam followers on the other hand, yeah, a couple a week, but since I don't follow or interact with them, there's no issue.
- AlphaCerium 4y agoAround 80% of my (admittedly very small number of) followers are bots, mostly poorly masquerading as women, and advertising porn sites. They usually seem to unfollow after a week or two though, especially after I block them.
- danaris 4y agoThere are bots, but at least for those who (like me) don't have a lot of "real" followers, they're pretty easy to catch, report, and block when they first follow you. (Having never had large numbers of followers, I can't speak for the experience there.)
