I'm a tag wrangler and I don't disagree with everything people say. Hell some of the things people say are things we're constantly fighting about behind scenes. But their uploading system was an amazing thing. It's a multifandom archive that I can actually use.
The thing that got me with Tumblr was that I could spend hours there without doing anything of substance. I'd reblog pretty pictures or comic scans and I'd maybe comment on one or two items. There was no depth to the place? If that makes sense. I could engage with people, but it wasn't easy and if the conversation went more than a few back and forths I just felt sorry for anyone following me who didn't care.
Tumblr good for low stress, low impact, low everything fandom. Bad for actually wanting to do fandom.
