Måste du?
I’ve honestly bitched and moaned about this kind of thing enough times, but why is there still someone like this every month? A handful of likes is fine, but if you really like those pics, a couple of reblogs are much better than spamming my dash like this to the point where it just gets unwieldy. Especially as all these likes are over actors who don’t get enough love on here anyway. But 40 likes only doesn’t spread the love around at all, because likes mean the posts never leave my blog and nobody else can see them. The only thing that happens is that I get a flooded dash. It doesn’t help people learn who these actors are, it doesn’t inspire people to seek out their films and it’s not even interacting with the OP in a meaningful way because it’s just so automated by the point it gets this voluminous. It’s likes for likes’ sake. I’d be over the *moon* if you reblogged a post, or even talked about the actor in your tags, or replied or interacted in some other way with me because JFC do we EVER need to big it up for a certain dead German transvestite on this website, but this? It does nothing except make it harder for me to see other people’s notes on my dash.
I don’t think people do this to be mean or whatever, and I’m not saying this to be mean, but seriously. I *have* to keep on making these posts as long as people don’t realise that this is what a like flood looks like on the OP’s end. The weirdest thing is that this happens even with people who seem to have fairly popular blogs, too, so have you never had a similar flood yourselves?
TL;DR I’m glad you like the stuff, and I understand all about geeky obsessive sprees, but seriously, a couple of reblogs are much, much better–for both the actors we both love and the readability of my dash. That way, everyone wins.
There are two of these folks again and I’m just reblogging this in the hopes they will notice.
Please.
All those likes feel useless because those posts will never leave this blog and all that happens is a flooded Activity page. And I get it; you want to appreciate the OP, give her kudos for posting the thing. But it doesn’t make me feel happy or appreciated, quite the contrary: “Oh, another one that someone liked but apparently didn’t deem good enough/didn’t find Connie relevant enough for their blog.”
If you really like Connie so much, *reblog* him. I’m not saying this for my own Tumblr fame or whatever (I wouldn’t care for it) but because of *him*. He really does deserve more love. And every reblog helps with that.
