There's something not quite right...
I found this post exploring the Tumblr hashtag.
I see social media as a place for interaction. On Tumblr I see no interaction. Yes, there are Likes and Reblogs but no comments. (There are but you have to enable a third party app such as Disqus.)
On Facebook, Twitter or G+ I post, comments arrive. There are signs of life. Here, nothing.
I’m sure I’m missing something. I hope I am.

I don’t get it.
I want to get it.

Can Someone Explain
What is the attraction of Tumblr. I’ve had this account for ages but I still don’t get why it’s popular.
Can you help me understand?
