Wasn't tumblr mostly hentai, shitposts and way too niche knowledge/memes?
You forgot the dreaded tumblrinas and tumblrites. Tumblr was once the dread nesting grounds of the proto-karen.
You can actually trace the decline of Reddit from the day Tumblr shut down
Soooo many angry angry blue haired people
Nah it started way before that. Steve Huffman (spez) was not loved as a child. Now he fantasizes about living in a bunker in a post apocalyptic wasteland and spends his time vigorously enshittifiying reddit to accelerate the collapse of civilization.
That implies that reddit is the center of civilization.
No, it doesn't.
Reddit is simply one more aspect of civilized society that is inherently unstable.
way too niche knowledge/memes?
the deep fandoms
Also besides hentai, before the porn purge it had a creative sex worker/porn fan scene of sorts that was pretty unique. Then they wrecked it to try to monetize the site with ads but couldn't even get that right and so it's been shuffled around owners to where now the business behind WordPress.com owns it.
Tbh it's probably the closest we've seen to a modern mix of MySpace, LiveJournal(? whichever blogging site was popular for fanfic, I'm blanking on it atm), & Geocities just in terms of the fan groups, heavy blog customization, and content that makes you wonder where the hell you've stumbled into.
RIP Iron Sheik
