Reddit vs Tumblr
Reddit started first, in 2005, 2 years before Tumblr.
Why Reddit lasted
- It is the comment section of the internet, and Google still sends people there for the human thread.
- Subreddits are institutions. They migrate slower than apps.
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.
