Not dead, just more niche now.

At some point, 90% of the ranking content from Tumblr was porn. They banned all adult content hoping to revive the platform. But they lost all of those creators, content, and traffic at once. It was a stupid decision. They could've filled the gap between Onlyfans & IG/Tiktok instead.

I think it still has some use, just not for every type of business. If your audience is actually on Tumblr, I’d give it a try.

It's not dead since you can find specific niche communities to sell to, but it's definitely quieter than it used to be in its prime.I mean ever since they banned porn I personally haven't used it but is anyone actually using it for business purposes?
Not even a parasite since it's a web2.0

I don’t think so. Tumblr still operates in its own unique way, with many strong niche communities that you won’t find on other platforms.

some businesses still use it for communities and brand content the audience seems much more interest driven than sales driven.

Not dead but I wouldn't build a business around it. Still useful for some visual niches but the traffic potential is way smaller than the main platforms.

I barely hear people talk about Tumblr anymore but I guess that doesn’t mean nobody is using it.
Maybe it’s one of those platforms you only notice when you’re actually looking for a specific type of content.

The funny thing is, I never really see tumblr mentioned when people talk about marketing platforms anymore Makes me wonder if the people still using it are just quietly doing their thing
while everyone else moved on.

The internet moves on from platforms so fast lol. One day everyone is talking about a site, and a few years later you have to remind people it still exists

tumblr might still be useful for driving traffic to certain types of content but I’d check whether the audience is actually active before putting time into it

I don't think Tumblr is completely dead it still has active users, and it can work for some niches it really depends on your audience and what you want to promote.
