I'm curious about Tumblr, but I don't really have a full grasp of it. Like what do you do with a Tumblr and how is it different to other social networks?

I just use it sometimes to post things that won't fit within Twitter's 140-character limit.

Like what do you do with a Tumblr and how is it different to other porn networks? Use it for porn. Usually it's mostly pics and gifs with the occasional embedded video. Great if you have a specific fetish

It's like Livejournal but 100% public, with support for MP3 uploads (which is great for covers/demos/bootleg sharing) and is very very easy to use/get attention on.
That's it, it's used by such a huge amount of people (third to Twitter & Facebook) you'll get anything you want on there depending on who you follow.
If you dislike blogs that do not do original content, you'll get less out of it, but if you're into a splattering of images/songs/videos and find people who aren't irritating with how much they post (avoiding people who spam EVERYTHING) then you'll enjoy it.
As with every successful social networking site there's no niche it fits now, it's the 2010s blogging format of choice (yes, it existed in 2008/09 which is when I've used it from but still), but as with all well promoted/talked about blogging formats you do get younger people using it as it's the most "cool" and easily accessible site, so you do get a lot of naivety, but eh, it's easy to avoid that stuff by the very nature of tumblr's follow/unfollow things if you start to get annoyed by what certain people post.
In summary: Ignore people who pretend it's a site used for one thing or the other. It's userbase is too big to make it seem as if it can be defined by that hilarious/hideous/mishap riddled tumblr-con thing that happened a month back.

It's the place where I post screencaps of Newspaper clippings that appear in movies. movienewsclips.tumblr.com/Other than that...I don't know. I kind of avoid the rest of it. Seems scary.

I signed up for a Tumblr account not too long ago. From what I can tell, this is what it basically is:
- "HEY, REMEMBER THE 90's!?" - "Plz don't be body shaming me, okay?" - Porn gif - Funny gif - Doctor Who gif - "HEY, REMEMBER THE 90's!?"

Tumblr is not a social network. It's a platform for artists based on promotion through other users. Only most people pretty much just use it to promtote stuff they like, mostly TV shows and gay fanfiction.

I like posting funny pics, or quotes on there sometimes. Hell, I have one personal quote that I posted over a year ago that's still getting likes and re-blogs. But I only post when I have something to post. I don't spend a lot of time on there.
This is what I said though, it has 480 notes.
“Too many people are slaves to pain. Whether it be physical or mental. Never give in to your pain, use it to make yourself stronger. The greatest painkiller on earth is a positive attitude.”
People liked it.
EDIT: I have never posted porn on Tumblr.

If you like Supernatural, Dr. Who, or the BBC Sherlock show, you'll really like Tumblr.

It's a site douchebags your arguing with can point to when they want to devalue a social cause. Because apparently if whiny, annoying teenagers mention a social cause on tumblr, that cause is automatically wrong for some reason.
