Flickr vs Tumblr
Flickr started first, in 2004, 3 years before Tumblr.
Why Flickr lasted
- Photographers who refuse Instagram still have originals there.
- SmugMug bought it to keep the archive from rotting. That is love as life support.
Why Tumblr lasted
- Fandom, collage, and a posting style that did not survive other feeds intact.
- Automattic bought it. WordPress people might yet be decent stewards.
