A reblog literally means nothing? You get literally 0 money and you shouldn’t be guilting people for liking content? As an artist you put out art for likes? I’m so confused, why are you guilting people for your content? Maybe people don’t want to have certain things on their blog so they don’t reblog? Pls help me understand bc I feel like you want us to feel guilty? There’s creators on every single platform fam so idk
this is what annoys me, you are so missing the point here, reblogs mean something, reblogs means that more people will see your creators, that be art, gifs, edits, graphics, video edits whatever, likes? not so much, AGAIN, I am not saying reblog everything in sight, I mean if you like a certain creation reblog, instead of just liking it, just saying.
I am not (we creators) are not guilt tripping anyone, we are just saying, that a few years ago people reblogged content, interacted, now this almost looks like instagram, the whole point of this site is SPREADING CONTENT, I mean why are you here for? to have a blog with zero content?
I know I’m not here for money lmao, I love doing gifs I love it and I love sharing them but appreciation is nice. If you know your content is good and you like seeing feedback, it’s not just me, i know a lot of people feel the same way. So if I know my creations are good I have the right to see it thrive adn reblogs mean that.
Obviously there is creators on other platforms but there is so much content that is stolen from here, I’ve been seeing this FOR YEARS years and it’s sad when for example someone steals a gif from me and it gets 10k likes a shit tone of retweets and here it goes for 1k notes, and twitter even if you like something it will appear on the dash of the people that follow you. Here that doesn’t happen. Reblogs are a major part of this site and on the way of live of creators.
If your blog has, say, 100 followers (for easy numbers), then when you make a post--any post--the MAXIMUM number of people who are *guaranteed* to see that post on their dashboard is 100 people if you don’t tag anything (for easy numbers).
Unless your blog is hyper-specific, it isn’t likely that all 100 people are actually interested in that content. They might follow you only for your cute animal posts, not your flower photography posts. So they skip it. Maybe that leaves 75.
Not all of your followers are going to be online at the same time, or even on that day, so we’re probably down to 50.
And, don’t forget the bots and porn phishing blogs. Let’s make it 40.
If all 40 of those people just LIKE the post, you’ve got 40 notes. It goes no further. That’s it.
If all 40 of those people REBLOG the post, you’ve got 40 notes, BUT they’ve put it on their dashboard for all of their followers to see, so if half of those reblogs attract the attention of at least one person (REBLOG or LIKE), you’ve got 60 notes. Then, maybe a half of those were reblogs, and half of those attracted the attention of at least one person, so you’ve got 65 notes.
If half of those original 40 reblogs get 2 notes instead of one, you’ve got 80, and if half of those were reblogs and half of them got someone’s attention, that’s 90.
INSTAGRAM is designed to passively let you like whatever you want. It doesn’t get shown to your followers, it doesn’t show up on your page. TWITTER is designed so that the likes of the people you follow get shown to you. TUMBLR treats likes similarly to Instagram. If I like something and do not reblog it, my followers WILL NOT see it.
The difference between TUMBLR and INSTAGRAM is that Instagram does not give you the option to share what you like with your followers. Tumblr DESPERATELY WANTS you to share what you enjoy with your followers. THAT IS WHAT MAKES UP THE COMMUNITIES ON HERE.
Communities on this website do not grow and thrive if everyone is just liking things they see without sharing it to their followers.
I should probably at some point watch the ending of shadowhunters. 😳 I'll just never be ready for it. 💔
me: i am INSPIRED i want to WRITE
my brain, immediately: i have never once even seen a sentence
Some writers will understand
CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE MATTHEW IS GOING TO BE A DADDY??? 😍
writer culture is having that one scene that really scratches your id, and being willing to write forty thousand words to get to it.
FUCK
This is literally. LITERALLY. How I started writing. How very dare you.
the scene doesn’t take place until book 4. BOOK 4. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
I feel this. Oh I feel it so much.
… and then running out of inspiration to write the remaining 10,000 words of the manuscript and dumping the file in the Well of Lost Plots on your hard drive.
Who, me? A Well of Lost Plots?
(covers up hard drive)
No idea what you’re talking about.
