Tumblr

Site is full of porn bots and pedophiles and the staff completely ignores any blogs you report even if it's for something serious like posting sexual images of minors. Dont waste your time it's a horrific environment

Fun for a while, but no matter who you follow you'll eventually realize tumblr loves being offended. Not up to date on every gender/sexuality concept? You're anti-LGBTQ. Don't blindly support socialism? You're a capitalist who loves oppressing people. Don't think being 400 pounds is a healthy weight? You're fat shaming.
I lean relatively left and even I can't deal with everyone being offended and over sensitivity. I stopped using tumblr (which is a shame, I kept up with a few great artists) and I've genuinely been happier.

They deleted my account (for spamming). Problem is: I never spammed and I never even used Tumblr. I simply created an account, posted a few things and that is it. All of a sudden it was deleted. Customer service never answered my complain. VERY DISAPPOINTING!

Awww, I so wanted to do better than a MEH. But as far as I can see, the core idea of Tumblr is that bloggers are encouraged to help themselves to other people's online material and copy it over to the Tumblr servers. Making this copying of other people's stuff as easy as possible is what Tumblr is all about.

I dutifully went to Google to take a look at a few sample blogs here, and frankly, I thought they were duller than the average blog as they just copied other people's stuff and (sometimes) commented on it. Worst case in my brief exploration was an article that had been "reblogged" from another Tumblr blog that had already reblogged it from yet another. Well I'm sorry, guys. Just looking at a bunch of material you've taken from other people's sites is not turning me on, and I can't imagine why you'd want to keep on doing it for very long. There's nothing definitively wrong about it (international and national copyright and intellectual property laws notwithstanding), it's just dull and repetitive. See, it's cool if you find something interesting now and then and post it on Twitter, or any of a bunch of sites that store your lucky finds, and it turns out to be interesting to lots of other people too. But whole pages of your found material and nothing else? Nope, not for me, and like I say, I'm sorry about that.

Maybe it was an unlucky choice too, but the first blog I visited had photographs weighing in at around a half-megabyte each, and I couldn't be bothered to wait for the huge page to load fully. Now this is not the fault of the blogger, who most likely hasn't yet learned how to compress images for the web. He just doesn't know any better. But the fact that the platform software is content to allow him to live in ignorance of the loss of some of his audience, which couldn't wait while several megabytes of images downloaded, I think that's poor. Although some bloggers might complain at any file size limits, given that modern storage is so cheap, a sensible limit imposed solely to keep pages loading smoothly and reasonably quickly can only be a good thing for everyone.

I can see this is a simple service to use, no coding skills needed, and the templates are neat enough to please most people. It's going to work for beginners and more experienced bloggers alike. I'd have no problem setting up here and blogging away, myself. The thing is, I can already do that at any number of existing venues. What's exceptional about Tumblr, to me, is also its major failing: promoting the use of other people's content and the further recycling of that content from blog to blog.

Mind you, one really surprising and most welcome feature of Tumblr - out of their thousands of blogs, only two selling Phentramin-D. Now that's a major achievement for any blogging platform! If they can package their anti-spam technology and sell it, they'll make more bloggers happy than Tumblr itself could ever do.
