Tumblr is no longer very useful for promotion. I tested it for two months, but I didn’t see any positive results.

I think Tumblr is still doing pretty well. Although it doesn’t offer much value for promotion anymore, it still has many very active communities.

I don’t think it’s dead yet. It really depends on what you want to promote to your target audience and the type of content you’re creating.

Tumblr has fewer users than it once did, but it hasn’t disappeared entirely. However, you might want to consider some more popular platforms.

I recently returned to Tumblr and found that it still has a lot of interesting content. I might try promoting my business on the platform soon.

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.

Snapchat screams "things stay between us." That's their USP. It's most trustworthy platform to share personal pics for teens. The filters are an addition. Meta tried to do the same with Whatsapp by claiming that chats are end-to-end protected but no one trusts Zuck.

We used to get a bunch of traffic from there, but they banned our accounts for unreasonable reasons so we pivoted to other social media
