#just say it’s about clout and money and shut up#like i KNOW you all are not making posts like this aimed at blogs with 10 followers lmfao#it’s about blogs who can make you popular like come on#there is no way everyone is pretending that all reblogs are treated as equal by any given op#i have seen way too much inter-creator drama to believe this at face value#not everyone who uses this site is here to support art#or even to consume visual content!#(​although i’m def including ‘humor blogs’ who structure tumblr specific meme templates in this as well)#or is aware of this unspoken etiquette for how to make content creators feel like their posts matter in the ‘right’ way#to the ‘right’ people#and it’s weird to me that we’re trying to act like it’s a failure of tumblr’s original intent as a website or smth if there aren’t notes#like just!!!! say the word influencer already!!!!! i know that’s what this is about#i wanna hear someone be honest about this instead of these guilt tripping text posts about how art is dying bc you aren’t doing YOUR part#…on tumblr.#you guys wouldnt be satisfied by 100 notes. y’all want VIRALITY. consistently. cmon now.#100 notes from people who enjoy your stuff is not the goal is it. is it!!!!!!!#say it!!!!!!#the goal is 1000 from people who have traffic in their follower counts#and even 1000 is somehow too little for some of you too#it’s got to be 3000 and 5000 and 10k to be valuable right?#it is a bit funny that everyone acts like they aren’t secretly dying for tumblr to monetize#and be the avenue for the first Photoshop Influencers#this is why spotify fakes artists and myspace faked music listeners lmfao#and twitter fakes followers#this site is FIENDING for a way to make Tumblr Status a paying gig someday#and i’m not talking about self reblogs or anything like that i’m talking about the conspiratorial networking pilgrimage for notes#this insider trading shit.#tagging friends or source blogs isn’t even what i’m talking about either bc by now that is baseline#it’s when you guys lose your shit over a post flopping even after all The Designated People reblog it#and act like goddamn children about it
