#like srsly artists rely on YOU to reblog snd share their thjngs so they can keep doing art

[spaceizunia]

this is why i started posting my art on twitter... like i got 40 followers in one day for one piece of my art compared to here where i have tons of art up and you know how many ppl have followed in the past 6 months? five. five ppl. my recent art has 22 notes currently and only 4 of those notes are reblogs like..

im so done with tumblr

You know, this is why content creators end up abandoning their works, right?

80 likes compared to 10 reblogs means that only 12% of people decided that what you did is worth showing other people.

If you like the thing, reblog it. You don’t even have to add tags, just spread it so that a) other people can see it, and b) the creator gets recognition for what they did.

Obviously, those numbers are never going to match, but the divide should not be that huge.

It’s even more important right now, because tumblr is garbage and they’ve stopped allowing anything with an outside link from appearing in tags. Writers/artists cannot tag things to their twitter/store/writing website. That can cause a significant drop in views, especially for newer creators.

Like… we aren’t asking for much. A few reblogs. Reviews/comments. No creator should have to beg for that much.
