Tumblr is an hidden secret and totally underrated.
I run two niche blogs on tumblr since 2011 with full control of themes and content, https, social sharing, without compulsory ads and using my own domain. SEO was a negative point but nowadays is good enough. All of this for free. Wordpress offer, AFAIK, is not nearly as good.
I agree, I use it to look at paintings and to blog about painters I am researching and it’s wonderful the depth and breadth of content available on so many subjects. My feed is overflowing and I’ve only skimmed the surface.

Thank you Tumblr.
