the effect of one singular person reblogging one of my art posts

[urfavenarrator]

Quick warning people who just like will get blocked I know some people like my stories but reblogs help me get more interaction, thank you to people who have been reblogging,

[thisnameisquitequeer]

Still baffled on a recent post I saw someone reblog where they basically said that artists begging people to reblog their work instead of liking it were off putting.

The OP essentially argued that if artists wanted reblogs instead of likes they needed to find a palatable way to do it like how youtubers ask for subs and comments and that argument still baffles me

Tumblr has always prioritized reblogs over likes, that's the way the system has always worked and people understood that until they didn't. I don't know why people are acting like this is a new thing?

Also a reblog and a like require the same amount of effort: clicking a button. No one is asking you to write out a comment or follow them or anything else that requires more engagement than liking. It's just clicking one button rather than the other.

I don't think that artists should have to grovel at your feet to use this site correctly. Also insinuating that if they do grovel but in a way that slightly annoys you they should be punished by having their creations ignored comes off as really entitled to me

STOP LIKING POSTS

thats what i keep saying !!!!

No one reblogs on tumblr anymore.

No one leaves comments on Ao3 anymore.

Seriously people the lack of fandom interaction these days makes me genuinely depressed, it never used to be like this, makes me wonder what's the point of coming online to do anything anymore.

Reblog a post so other people can see it.

Leave a comment so the author doesn't feel like giving up.

Fandom cannot live on Likes or Kudos alone.

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

Average tumblr user flexing how underground and weiiiiiiiirddd their music taste is

Spare a reblog and comment to make a creator's day please. They spend so much time on their creations. Dont do like tiktok.

The TikTok-fication of Tumblr and why it needs to stop before your fave writers are gone for good:

1. “Part 2??”

Unlike TikTok, writing 5,000 words for a fic does not happen in 6 seconds or more. Weekly updates are from a writer who spoils you and is passionate about their story. Don’t kill the passion by demanding for more and not appreciate what’s already given.

2. The DC Conundrum

Many writers on this platform hail back from the ff.net days where dark content is a norm, not like TikTok where even death has to be censored or you could get flagged.

Despite that, writers are doing you a service by sharing fic warnings despite how it may take away from a plot twist or a big reveal. However, there’s a fine line between sharing warnings and downright spoiling our own work. Heed the warnings, don’t be a dick. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Learn how to filter your own content, too, while you're at it.

3. The Wild Algorithm

Unlike TikTok, Tumblr’s FYP is not in your face and you have a choice to not view it. Content often gets buried a few days after it’s posted without reblogs or comments to keep it alive.

4. Passive Content Consumption

Ties back with point #1. If you’re only sitting back and reading works without supporting the writers, they can’t spend 6 seconds to conjure up a fic. Writing takes time, editing, proofreading. Tumblr is a book club, not a delivery service.

5. De(constructive) Criticism

If an opinion isn’t asked for, don’t give it. Many writers choose this craft for their own enjoyment and to share a thought or story about a beloved character to those who love them, too. If an opinion is asked? Be kind when you share it across to them. No one likes their hard work to be shat on by someone who doesn’t understand the time and effort it took to create this piece.

6. Are You My Content Machine?

Again, back to point #1. Writers have busy lives. There are days when we want to scream into the void about our favourite characters. We want to share our thoughts about them or sometimes, we just want to talk about what happened during lunch break. Demanding and expecting that a writer post content without giving a shit about the soul behind the screen? Dehumanizing.

Don’t ruin the experience for those of us who are still here. Do your part to make fandom better for everyone.

i think ive decided to leave tumblr as an artist for good.

for the past two months the only interaction I've gotten on my art has been likes. this is despite me saying multiple times 'do not like if you are not going to reblog. likes are useless'

[ashfdhfgdsfk]

which movies have you watched the most amount of times? they dont have to be your actual favorite movies, just the ones youve rewatched most. for example: mine are the final destination movies and scream
