For those who’ve migrated from TikTok: there’s no reward for harassment on Tumblr. You won’t gain a heavy amount of likes, reblogs, and followers for leading harassment campaigns; if anything, it’ll make people block you.
On Tumblr, there’s no popularity contest because many don’t care about the amount of followers, likes, and reblogs you have. A lot of users even hide their likes and who they’re following. Users heavily encourage blocking people and filtering out tags. This is why online discourse is more confined to its bubble instead of being so widespread on this website: because people curate their experiences.
If you want to have an enjoyable experience on Tumblr, then you need to use the block button and filtering system. If you don’t, then you’re going to be extremely miserable.
EDIT: Interesting additions to the post-
Want to emphasize that I report people as spam if they’re spam tagging with a bunch of random shit that’s not related to the content of the actual post. It’s annoying, don’t do it.
Reminder to all:
Spam tagging is not only annoying as hell and will get you blocked on sight, but it is against Tumblr TOS and User Guidelines!

That screenshot is taken directly from the User Guidelines. The most relavant portion is:
“Don’t put tags on your posts that will mislead or deceive searchers. For example, don’t tag a photo of your cat with "doctor who” unless the name of your cat is actually Doctor Who, and don’t overload your posts with #barely #relevant #tags.“
Most people will just block you on sight, but this behavior can get you reported.
