Fun for a while, but no matter who you follow you'll eventually realize tumblr loves being offended. Not up to date on every gender/sexuality concept? You're anti-LGBTQ. Don't blindly support socialism? You're a capitalist who loves oppressing people. Don't think being 400 pounds is a healthy weight? You're fat shaming.
I lean relatively left and even I can't deal with everyone being offended and over sensitivity. I stopped using tumblr (which is a shame, I kept up with a few great artists) and I've genuinely been happier.

VERY DISAPPOINTING!
October 29, 2015

They deleted my account (for spamming). Problem is: I never spammed and I never even used Tumblr. I simply created an account, posted a few things and that is it. All of a sudden it was deleted. Customer service never answered my complain. VERY DISAPPOINTING!

I've started blogging in this website and I must say that I really really love it! Very easy to use and my favorite is that it renders gifs images

So easy and compatible, has great content and there are a lot of cool people on there. You learn a lot of things and become highly aware of social justice and equality- which this world could use a lot of.

Its fun to tinker with but its kind of confusing to use. It is also hard to actually socialize with others who share my interests on this site. I don't always know when people reblog my posts and I have to kinda dig to find the replies. Also seeing something popular over and over again while great original content gets ignored isn't good.

Also some of the users are really rude and obnoxious if you are into certain things. For the most part it isn't a problem but there are some small groups of users who are very vocal and obnoxious.

Many, many, many hours have been spent using Tumblr for the past two years of my life.

It's basically the place to go if you're tired of all the bull$#*! and stupidity going on your Facebook Newsfeed. You can blog about anything you desire and no one will judge you like they would on Facebook. Just be careful about what you put out there, it's still the internet and can searched, though.

I've had a tremendous experience with Tumblr so far! After creating your profile you obtain endless creative control. The website receives five stars from me due to the fact that it is reliable, easy to use with plenty of interesting features to learn, and provides hours of creative fun. I have thoroughly enjoyed using Tumblr so far and I'm happy to continue in the future.

Good website
February 15, 2014

Good website. Love that the blog page can be customized to your liking with HTML and CSS. Love the idea of micro-blogging. Love a lot of images I found there. Love that I don't have to sell my kidney to use it unlike Facebook. A very simple and easy to use website. But unfortunately, it came with many downfalls which led to me not using it anymore.

- Note that a lot of Tumblr users depending on your interests, are going to be people of all kinds of attitudes. Unfortunately for me, I loved landscapes and reblog landscape photos all the time and one person I followed and reblogged from publically humiliated me by screenshot and laughed with her other friends on Tumblr on all the pictures I reblogged from her at once. That was immature. I unfollowed her and her friends and hated those snotty teenagers who think they're "Tumblr famous" and all that non-sense.

- If you want to protect your work or your music, you will be disappointed. I have seen people's photography posted up, modified, etc. Music being uploaded, etc.

- Lastly, if you do not want to see any porn, you might want to be careful with your searches. I hate to be judgmental, but I was quite disgusted with a lot of the images and animated. Gifs being posted on Tumblr. Watch out for the porn blogs.

In other words, Tumblr has a great concept but has extremely poor management. It's sickening that a community like Tumblr was created where users are so quickly to attack, quickly offended and constantly harassing other users or humiliating them to no end. And you can't even block the porn even if you wanted to; I bumped into so much of it by accident, no joke.

It is easier entering Fort Knox w/o a pass.
I have just wasted 30 minutes of my life on a site that I supposed to find useful.
Makes Facebook look good
I will stick to Flickr.com.

And for me, and for so many of the people I have known, that's been a lifesaver. The ultimate lifesaver. It gets you through good times and it gets you through the other ones.

Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all the other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do.

It's a well built platform, but it seems the only people who use this site are teenage girls trying to post "emotional" pictures and GIFs of their favorite television series'...

Excellent resource for business marketing, blogging and distribution of video content. This site has strong juice for SEO and VSEO, I highly recommend for anyone working in the space. Also a great way to house and deliver information and video via email marketing links. One of the better social media sites, easy to navigate and very popular.
