Tumblr idolism has always scared me. In fact, Tumblr has always scared me, with its 4 frame gifs and inability to create high-effort content. I remember the exact moment I quit tumblr. I had written a 750 word post about my thoughts on Pokemon and its impact on the childhoods of tons of kids, how it helped them with learning how to read and make friends. I felt really good about the piece at the time. It was barely glanced over. The post above mine was a gif-set of Charizard. Hundreds of thousands of responses. Perhaps that's just be being whiny and wanting people to view my content - which I suppose isn't the most important thing - but at the same time, it's why I'd choose Hubski over Tumblr any day. Sorry, I hit another fringe-comment rant again.
See, I never Tumbled expecting that people I didn't know and who didn't follow me would read my shit. I didn't really see it as the venue for that. Maybe Medium would be a better fit for you. Sorry for the Reddit link, but this is the only reason I go to Tumblr nowadays, and it's hilarious.
