To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY.#you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love.#If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen #I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits #You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes.#If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content?#And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like.#However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value.#tumblr issues #tumblr #content creators #buns.txt #something something please don't starve your local clowns

#was looking for some fics with these two #I imagine this is one of their first interactions and Hunter is already fed up with Darius #but Darius is just trying to get to know the successor of his mentor and check if he's at least a little bit capable of doing his job #he's also a little weirded out by the similarity between these two #basically I imagine Darius gave him a couple of vibe checks that Hunter had failed #and Hunter takes it as questoning his place in the coven #god darius design is so pink and awful #it's so jover uni starts tommorow #it's like the most boring drawing ever but I'm just still in my I have to get better at backgrounds era #and also if I'll draw 100 awful things I get a decent one eventually #it's like inktober but lasts your whole life and devours your soul in the process #no caption just pure tags now I understand those few people who keep reblogging all my tags cuz I give all the fucking context there #there's probably like 10 things I would spot tommorow that would fix the drawing a whole bunch but I just ...don't want to ig #the owl house #sheerak #the golden guard #darius deamonne #hunter toh #toh hunter #hunter deamonne #toh fanart #the owl house fanart #dadrius #not yet but #you guys most fellow toh fanartists moved on and fanart fiona and cake but I keep brainrotting the same stuff over and over #good old toh trashpile

im so fucking tired of the disrespect gifmakers get on the gifmaker website

#kai.txt #negativity tw #(sorry these are gonna be a lot of tags. i have a lot of feelings and i dont know where else to put them)#we make gifs and nobody reblogs them #when they do get reblogged all people want to tell you is that your gifs arent good enough to them and rip it to shreds #'you're missing x' 'why didnt you do y' 'if i made this i would have abc' 'hey op ur wrong and this is why' 'i dont like this op'#reposters dont even reblog your fucking gifset but they'll save your gifs to repost later asking for how to do something #that they could have asked you how to do in the fucking first place #we reblog ourselves constantly because nobody else will and maybe to make our work look like it has more notes than it does #to make ourselves feel better about the lack of interaction we're getting #and then when we TALK about this frustration we have. people who are too afraid to say it to our faces #go on anon in our askboxes and tell us how we're somehow selfish for wanting people to interact with the sets #that we spent time on. hours. days. WEEKS in some cases #or we get anons who tell us the reason we dont have notes are because we arent good at gifmaking in the first place #but this is all on anon. because they're too scared to tell it to our faces #they're too scared for us to see that they ARENT a gifmaker and that they dont know how to do it any better either #they dont see us as people doing something we love as a hobby. they see us as content machines that dance like court jesters #im just so fucking tired of the disrespect #and this sentiment goes for more than just gifmakers. graphicmakers. artists. literally any creative hobby shared on this site #we get treated like shit and for what? literally for fucking what.

I will never understand the obsession with making tims favourite robin Jason when it couldn't be more painfully obvious that tims favourite robin was Dick

Like people are so caught up in the concept, the made up angst, that tims favourite robin beat him up that they straight up misunderstand how much more significant Tim and Dicks relationship is not to mention the added layers of Tim originally being created as the ultimate self insert character which for a good number of readers meant they grew up with Dick as their favourite robin and didn't really like Jason just for not being Dick

May I reblog one of your art pieces?

I am referring to "the rainy day" piece.

Reblogs are more than appreciated :)

Reposts on the contrary, are forbidden and I can't say it enough to stop doing it xD

But reblogs have never been problematic!

#little rant in the tags which is not about this ask specifically #I think it's about some people who don't want people to followor reblog their posts if they don't know them?#I think it's pretty dumb considering the word social media is self explanatory and people will interact with different kind of media #if you don't want to have strangers interacting with your posts DO NOT go on social media? and go touch some grass as well #internet can be dangerous thats why you have to keep your personal info to yourself #but i cannot stress this enough if you refuse interaction which is fine in itself DO NOOOT go on SOCIAL platforms #and im not talking about refusing people to talk to you #im talking about likes and reblogs which do not connect yourself directly to the user #this is omnipresent on social medias and if your account is not private you won't escape it #truly research the platform you want to be on before asking for things that cannot be controlled

it has been said over and over again but if y'all want this fandom to live all the way until season 3 you NEED to start reblogging posts. and no, i don't just mean the occasional one you deem worthy, i mean every single post you like should ALSO be reblogged.

the only exception are posts that are very personal or have a disclaimer, although tumblr has the options to turn reblogs OFF.

so if reblogs are on - REBLOG the post. likes do not mean shit, i'm sorry, there is no algorithm based on likes. they're appreciated but they do not do anything, they do not help spread content, they do nothing to further connection within the fandom.

a 1:10 reblog to likes ratio is disheartening, and there will be more than a few people who get only likes and zero other interactions who will stop posting because of that.

tumblr lives off of reblogs, this isn't twitter or instagram or tiktok, you HAVE to reblog posts, that's the whole goddamn point of the system.

so please, i don't care if you have zero followers or two thousand, reblog every post you like, especially if it's art (whether written, gifs, fanart, etc. doesn't matter).

#alex talks good omens #good omens #ineffable husbands #crowley #aziraphale #good omens season 2 #go2 #aziracrow #crowley x aziraphale #like okay sure give me 200 likes on a post that doesnt do fucking shit if it only gets five reblogs like my god #if you want people to keep creating and sharing you NEED to interact with it

#every time Leo and Calypso interacted I wanted to bang my head on the table until I passed out #I’ve already reblogged 2 posts about this ik. But seriously how the hell does uncle Rick not realize how toxic that ship is #Leo’s character is practically ruined bc of Caleo WHY CANT MY POOR SON JUST HAVE ACTUAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT GOTDAMN :(#also Lester literally pissed his pants like every other chapter wtf???#and the new characters were kinda boring imo #Leo finding a mother figure in Josephine was really sweet but other than that I had no strong opinions on anyone #i do appreciate Meg and her backstory but she really does get on my nerves sometimes #istg if Grover pookie is mid next book I’m going to sob #and I already know my baby boy Jason dies next book so sobbing will happen either way #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #lester papadopoulos #the trials of apollo #pjo hoo toa #jason grace #meg mccaffrey #leo valdez #grover underwood #(I’m just saying if Leo and Jason kissed all my problems would be solved)#how tf did I accidentally become a valgrace shipper #idc it’s much better than caleo anyway 🤷‍♀️#this book was repulsing it never happened

reblog art, goddamnit

#post let luce #i know people make posts like this all the time #but I am so fucking tired #I post art for engagement. for interaction.#so many of those reblogs are tagless too #what do i make art for?#to throw it out to a silent audience? to get a clap and then work on the next performance?#this is not ragging on people who reblog. especially not those reblogging with tags #yall are the reason i *do* still post #but i honestly just wanna know what people think. i wish to hear their thoughts. the less people reblog the less people see #and the less people have the spoons to actually talk to me about my art #not doing so well rn so it just hits harder #and more and more tempted to just. not post on tumblr anymore #when i post stuff on discord it feels much more interactive #despite the audience being so much more limited #feeling bad about my art and posting on here isnt helping

No, you know what? I’ve slept on it and I *still* think it’s a good idea. Donate $5 or more to any of the fundraisers on this list or that I’ve reblogged, send me a screenshot, and I’ll send you back a pic of my feet. $15 and I’ll wear my strappy pink brother vellies. More than $25 will get you my butt in lacy undies, which if I’m honest isn’t my best feature but I’ll let you be the judge.

If we’re mutuals and you have a personal need feel free to ask me to do this for your fundraiser as well.

#mutual aid #I have really pretty feet #is this philanthropy? 🦋#jokes aside I donate myself whenever I can but I’d really like to be able to give more #friends reblog to help me do my bit 🫡#okay to interact

Ok in honor of this post getting pretty widely viewed I'm posting my (self proclaimed) funny tumblr text meme edit here

#in stars and time #siffrin #isabeau #image tag #This is probably the only thing of mine I'll ever publicly share I'm more of a reblogger than a Maker Of Things so #Funnily enough I actually made this Before op posted this scene. I noted the shift from fake portrait to scary portrait back when I was—#playing through act 4 (kind of hilarious thing for Siffrin to get annoyed about. btw. I could character analyze him over that but I won't)—#but I didn't actually realize ISABEAU reacted like this (I fucking missed the blush entirely) until my friend Robin pointed it out to me.#This specific screenshot is something I took right off cloudy's ''sifcore'' tag but ever since Robin mentioned that I was like. Haunted #And then I saw this reblogged by Cloudy and went OH I HAVE THE PERFECT PORTRAITS FOR THIS #Anyway these are The Exact Portraits Used In The Referenced Scene. How do I know for sure? I went back to my fucking second save file—#and looped forwards to floor 3 just to get the interaction again. To check and make sure I was using the exact portraits from the scene #Anyway these fuckers make me ill. Bye #Nebbie posts #<- I FORGOT MY ORGANIZATIONAL TAGS AUUGH

Ryan Reynolds first mistake was announcing himself.

Entered a circus full of clowns In a brand new suit and asking to be pied energy.

#my brother in christ at least reblog and like a bunch of stuff first #interact with the sight a little BEFORE putting a target on your back #ryan Reynolds #the celebrities that survive and learn to love tumblr all use it to interact with fans and memes more that the so promoting things #unlike twitter where promoting things on it is appart of the job and expected #also tumblr doesn't have verification so how do we know it's actuallt him??
