One aspect that without a doubt contributed greatly to Tumblr’s success was how unique the site was. At the time that it was created, social media was mainly for having a profile, such as Facebook and Myspace, and sharing content about yourself as an individual. Tumblr, however, allowed for much more creativity. Users could share a variety of forms of media, and there was no expectation to reveal your identity if you didn’t want to. “Long before Instagram launched, in 2010, Tumblr was a home for curated imagery,” Kyle Chayka explained in theNew Yorker.

Tumblrhas made a lasting impact on the internet that we’ll never forget. And you can still use it today, although you might think that the site looks a bit outdated at first glance. According to Allegra Rosenberg atThe Verge, part of the reason why Tumblr has been left behind is because it couldn’t keep up with the ever-changing landscape of social media.Well, it probably could have, but Tumblr users are notorious for being resistant to change. “It’s a long-standing inside joke that users will immediately reject any change to their precious Tumblr, taking a long time to finally adjust and accept it,” Rosenberg writes.

Tumblr actually does have an option for infinite scroll, a feature that has been cited for making TikTok so addictive, but aside from that, it has its own unique layout and look. In fact, every user can have their own unique experience on the site as well, as there are plenty of options forcustomizingyour theme. Even third-party themes are available for purchase or download. It’s easy to feel like we’re all just cogs in the wheel of the internet, but at least on Tumblr, you can feel like you have your own special wheel.

While it’s likely that you spend much less time on Tumblr today than you did a decade ago, if you were on the platform during its golden age, it’s never too late for the site to become popular again. In fact, according toFinancial Times, it’s been gaining traction amongst Gen Z for the past few years. Almost half of its active users are 25 years old or younger, and apparently, the most popular film among the platform’s fandom in 2022 was Disney’sEncanto.

We could all probably benefit from spending less time on social media, but if you’re going to be scrolling, Tumblr might be the best place to do so. The algorithm on the site doesn’t work the same way as other social media platforms, which push the same content to many users. Instead, you have to find and follow what you really want to see, which can be a little more work, but can also help you get creative and find unique posts. It’s also a less popular site now, so you might come across information, art and music that you won’t find anywhere else!
