you can't seriously equate pressing a button on a website you are already using in order to support artists who make content for free, to going out of your way to listen to one song over and over again whether you like the song or not in order to generate a tiny fraction of a company's revenue

#i didnt really want to get into much about the whole twt migration thats going on #bc i dont think its affecting my blog that much since i don't make visual content #like no one was on twt for fics so theyre not gonna move here and be like: ooh a writer who never updates. follow!#anyway i wasnt going to say much but i did make one post (hypocritical ursa im dumb dont mind me)#except the one post was mostly towards the tumblr users giving tips bc i didnt think saying #'no spam likes' was the best advice to give #but that post pretty much was rbed by my mutuals and maybe reached 3 people outside of my circle #and yet this comment...? where did i even mention streaming or voting or whatever energy theyre talkung about #okay to be fair i think this person commented on someone's reblog of the post and didnt know itd look like #it went straight to me because tumblr comments are an interesting weird system #but still #you cant seriously think it takes the same amount of energy to reblog as it does to stream/vote #idk it seems obvious to me that rbing doesnt take much effort #ik commenting is hard sometimes... ill often feel like a broken record in the tags but i try not to let that stop me #and yknow sometimes im tired. brain cant make words. sometimes ill rb visual content with no comment #but im rbing it!! because thats how tumblr works!!#i want to support creators by showing my followers and friends their work so i reblog!!#tumblr doesnt have a trending tag system the way twt did.. its there but it doesnt run that well #the tags are a great way to find cc's but not everyone will show up in the top 50 posts people will scroll through #until they exit the tag and go back to the dashboard #other social media sites use stats like likes; rts; comments; views; and time just LOOKING at a post into account #and those things go into the algorithm but im almost certain tumblr doesnt do that #your dashboard is just who you follow and the only way you get posts on your dashboard #is blogs making original content and reblogging #idk why im trying to explain this to the void #anyone who's read this far probably knows all this #listen im just here #chillin. reblogging #tbh im tired of seeing all the posts about the migration i just want to look at pics of kpop boys and shitposts 😭#stickynotes.tpe
