There is a distinct lack of writers on Tumblr
There’s such a distinct lack of text content on Tumblr that breaks even 100 words in a post, it’s pretty sad. I’m sure there are some fantastic writers out there, some fantastic thinkers too but where is their representation?
As I write this there are 1.2 million Tumblelogs, with “writer” being the ninth most popular tag and “writing” being the 18th most popular tag. That means there are a significant amount of writers on here, correct?
Nope.
The most popular Tumblelog classified under “writer” has three pictures of Miley Cyrus on its first page and a total of one hundred and forty three words. To anyone who writes significant amounts on Tumblr, like myself, frankly that is pretty insulting.
In a world where newspapers are folding due to distinct lack of funding, subscribers and new favor of online-only content, Tumblr is the perfect platform for writers: You write, you build a following, an audience, and anytime you publish you automatically have a group that auto-subscribes to your content with the possibility of reaching further once they choose to reblog and comment.
Tumblr, support your writers. Help add a text element to this picture-heavy platform that we have here.
COMPLETELY AGREE, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WRITERS. I’m kind of sick of seeing the same photos reblogs all the fucking time… which is why I’m trying to change/figure out what exactly I want my Tumblr to be.
