Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Tumblr is a widely recognized, massive social media platform with significant historical utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, lacking specific data, verified metrics, or technical details. While the entity's scale warrants a high baseline score (fitting the 400-700 calibration for large scale), the score is dampened by the declining market relevance, lack of current innovation evidence in the submission, and the 'lazy' nature of the application response.

Description
People come to Tumblr to expand their perspectives. They join a community and a cultural dialogue that exposes them up to new ideas, new passions, and new forms of self-expression. People seem to really like this thing we’ve built, and we need smart, humble, funny people to keep it running and growing. We’re big enough to give you the resources you need and still small enough that you can work on things that matter. Come work with us.
