What's your opinion on Tumblr?

A few years ago it was super easy to make a lot of money on Tumblr, you could easily bring in thousands a day.

Now the website is saturated, that content is banned, and the community aspect is gone.

Very few people "got big" on tumblr, especially because people like me formed and created groups on Facebook of all the largest tumblr users and then have them share your posts in exchange for a promotion, or to share a post of yours.

I was late in joining them, by the time I realized that they existed I already had more followers than 90% of them (I was kicked out about a year after when I released a bunch of posts publicly releasing all the devious tactics they get to gain followers and scam their users).

It's an insane world full of drama. Lots of devious tactics, lots of hacking and anger and unhealthy competition. I wouldn't suggest it for anyone.

The fan community that you can grow for yourself is amazing, I had several, it's a very strange world.

But the issue is that you become unlike yourself, you begin to append analytical value to all of your thoughts and it's incredibly self censoring.

On top of this, tumblr as a community is very angry, no they are very quick to attack and belittle you for the slightest errors. I used to think this is normal.

It is not normal.

(Sorry, for the slight rant. I just wasted a lot of time on there)
