- Promos - the kind that you reblog
- Blog of the month/week/day/night
- Promo games
- Blog groups/networks! Where certain bloggers would get together and become friends
- People always used to make themes
- Bloggers would host tinychats for fun
- People used to use yourworldoftext
And there were a ton of new blogs and everyone had really different blogs! Like summer, hipster, winter, girly, personal, etc.
But now, several changes have been made (one of the reasons that I will probably never rejoin permanently and be as into Tumblr as I used to, which is probably a good thing):
- Tumblr staff has put up a bunch of regulations for promos, so you can't really do promos as casually as we could in the old days
- No one does BOTWs and stuff anymore
- People are running out of ideas so instead of broad genres for blogs, blogs have becomes things like "rosy", "organic", "soft grunge", "soft ghetto". Like..what does that even mean...
- Okay, actually if you were wondering, here are the examples of the genres that I just listed:
- Organic: http://iolitex.tumblr.com/
- Rosy: http://rosy-secrets.tumblr.com/
- Soft grunge: http://its-realistic.tumblr.com/
- Soft ratchet: it's either this: http://nada.tumblr.com/ or this: http://ridge.tumblr.com/ (I am really not sure because I am not familiar with this genre)
- Tumblr has changed its layout and has these huge Fisher Price style buttons now
- The only people who can get Tumblr famous are those who are already famous...and those people are really annoying and only care about getting more followers
- No one does networks or groups anymore
- No more good/unique themes, and no more tinychats
- Now people use JotLeaf
- Lots of the cool people who used to be on Tumblr have deleted to escape the addiction
- It's getting a little repetitive (the pictures I mean, because there aren't many new posts anymore)
Sigh. Good times on Tumblr. I hope that the people who used to be on Tumblr during the golden days are doing well in the world now.
