How Tumblr Tumbled: The Rise, Fall & Resurgence of Gen Z’s Favourite Platform
Edit: Yahoo bought Tumblr in 2013, not 2023 lol. I misspoke right at the start, apologies!
In this week's episode, I explore the rise, fall, and recent resurgence of Tumblr— the microblogging site that defined Gen Z internet culture for years. I look at the site's origins, why it became so popular, and the lasting impact Tumblr had on the social media user experience and online trends. I also dive into some of the platform's biggest personalities, like Acacia Brinley, and popular sides of the platform both good and bad, like the pro-ana movement and the fuckyeah blogs.
