As artists, we keep complaining about apps and websites with algorithms that hide our art and people just don't see it (but we see ads out the wazoo).
But what about tumblr? probably the only site out there that still shows things chronologically and lets the user see what they want? Amazing right? well it's fucking not!
These are the notes of some of my gifsets and fanart I've posted (for popular fandoms btw, mostly Good Omens). Look at the difference between likes and reblogs
And you need to take into account that at least 8 of those reblogs are my own, as I try to get the thing that took me hours to be seen! And sometimes multiple reblogs from the same kind friend who also helps me out.
You see? It's not the algorithms that are discouraging artists. It's you guys too! I'm not making this post to be rude or demand attention, my point is. You want gorgeous art of your favorite charactes? Amazing fanfics that keep you up at night? Gifs of every scene? Meta posts that discuss every detail of your fave tv show? all of that for free? Then do something!
Help artists out, likes are nice, sure but they don't mean anything. Reblogs mean you saw something and got so excited you had to share it with your friends. Reblogs mean "hey dude, I see this took you days to make, I love it and I want other people to enjoy it as well"
This is so discouraging, and it has stopped people from making art and participating in the thing that makes fandoms so special. It's sad :/
Anyways, reblog what you like! <3
#i'm sad today dkfjhdfg#and yes this is about that fucking drawing that took me A WEEK (because i was busy)#and only got 7 likes on instagram (one for each day i worked on it i guess lol)#but it's also about the gifs i make#which you'd think would be reblogged more since this is the gif website#idk what y'all want#cause then i see people complaining about the lack of fan creations for a ship they like#and i'm like bitch you don't even reblog the main ships... who's gonna make something for nothing?#and yeah sure ''art is for yourself'' and that's how you get people making art AND NOT POSTING IT#it's fucks YOU up#just saying...#anyways reblog what you like for gods sake!#angel talks
