Tumblr is a social networking platform, established in 2006 by David Karp and Marco Arment. This platform was born out of a need for a tumblelogging platform and saw rapid success, attracting 75,000 users within two weeks of its launch in 2007. Over the years, Tumblr’s ownership has changed hands multiple times, with Yahoo ![2] purchasing it in 2013 for $1.1 billion. Despite a rocky transition and unmet expectations, Tumblr remained operational. It was later sold to Verizon in 2017, and then to Automattic, the operator of WordPress.com, in 2019. Throughout these changes, the aim has been to revitalize and maintain Tumblr as a key player in the médias sociaux[1] landscape.
