Tumblr

Tumblr is a free and ad-free microblogging platform owned and operated by Yahoo! Incorporated. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog. Users can follow other users' blogs, as well as make their blogs private, if desired. Much of the website's features are accessed from the "dashboard" interface, where the option to post content and posts of followed blogs appear. This enables, in theory, a stream of content even if a given blogger is not able to actively update that often. In practice, Tumblr's ability to reblog individual blogs tends to lead to a lot of flat-out cropped content from other blogs, but that's not what brought it to /tg/'s notice. The site wouldn't really warrant any interest from the *chans or /tg/ in general if it weren't for the fact that there's a number of artists on tumblr catering to some of /tg/'s many interests, and its often stormy relationship with the chans for reasons too complex to describe in depth within the scope of this article.
To make an increasingly long and irritating story short, Tumblr's heavy association as a gathering place for the Social Justice Warriors and their crusade against [[pol]/pol/] clashes with *chan's atmosphere of no-holds-barred, obnoxious, irreverence. Additionally, microblogs, specifically the emphasis on every user having his own name and writing about himself, tends to cause friction with a userbase of (mostly) anonymous masses that shun all notions of identity.
