1. EZ retard coding.
Any schmuck and alot of do it yourself types can easily fix the coding of the tumblr layout which is everything a special snowflake wants.
2. Lemming Effect
AKA if you build it and some come more will follow" It gained a reputation early on as a haven for the more eccentric types and eventually the whole community exploded. Kinda like when the neighborhood goes to shit.
3. Marketing
If a popular celeb does it it gains traction among the circles of said followers. Taylor Swift having a Tumblr is what drove many fans to make their own.

Well thats just a subsection of the lemming effect similar to how the first page shows all the most active threads here on 4chan. The difference is that over there and on Leddit the mods and corporate shills have more control as to what makes the front page in order to push specific agendas for the day or just ride on current trends.
