A viral Tumblr post is a lot more than just some words… it is a work of art.

Every social media platform specializes in something else. We all go on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms with different purposes, with different expectations of what we intend to find. We also post on these platforms with different goals. Many criticize Instagram for its «too polished» videos of life. It is a social media platform where people only post about the brightest parts of their lives, and nothing about people’s feeds feels real. You only post the highlights of your life, without the hard or ugly parts, and you don’t expect to find these parts while you’re scrolling through your feed either.

TikTok is similar, but perhaps less polished than Instagram. Since every For You page is designed to match each user, it’s hard to pinpoint what people expect to find when they go on TikTok, but we can definitely say they expect to be entertained. They want to see videos that best match their interests and humor, and TikTok truly does it best.

So what do people expect to find when they go on Tumblr? 

Tumblr is a social media platform that currently runs because of its most loyal users. People who enjoy the platform will never let it go because they trust the content will always be there for them. If Instagram is too fake and TikTok is too personal, Tumblr is the perfect in-between. It allows people to connect with their favorite fandoms and creators, while also providing posts that shed some true light on life and the hardship of its reality. The content is real, it’s funny, and it’s iconic.

Every post that goes viral on Tumblr has earned it. Tumblr users are witty, clever, and genuinely funny. It brings so much joy to be able to share some of the best posts and memes that came out of this platform. Hopefully, you are as excited to scroll through them as we are.
