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.

Customer Reviews
Great for pop culture enthusiasts
Knowledgeable and fun, one of my fave pop culture pods. Well-researched, sophisticated analysis. However I don’t care about the hosts’ personal lives and wish they would cut the often excessive personal updates from the eps.
Love love love
I’m an OG listener and I’ve written a review before, but I can confidently say I’ve never loved the pod more than I do now. I can tell it’s a ton of work to do mini scroll a full episode every week, but mini scroll is an amazing format. It’s pithy and well-researched and interesting and just the right amount of information every day. Lauren, I see you and see the hard work you’re putting in. You are incredibly thoughtful in your research and I can’t imagine how long it takes to prep these episodes. My favorite episode recently was the mini scroll ep on Bumble’s anti-celibacy ads. What I loved about this episode specifically was that it showcased your special knowledge and expertise so well. No one else can talk intelligently about why this was such a bust for Bumble like you can. Watching you put in the work to make this podcast happen genuinely inspires me to pursue my passions with more care and attention. I wish you all the success and happiness. Lots of love and respect, Elise (USA)
Great for internet and pop culture!
Love it!
