The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise. 

First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.

We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.

In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that,  including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.

^^ fixed it for you again. Cartoon villain losing the battle type message.

I’m pleased you’re rolling back the change (for now) but it’s clear you aren’t listening. No one has ever cared about that. Creating communal posts is about sharing. You ALREADY get credit when you add to a post. Your NAME is on it. You want to promote competitiveness and individualism because you think it will increase posting via cheap engagement/rage bait and content theft but it won’t. Your user base is largely older who have been online for a long time and if we wanted that kind of miserable cycle we’d open Twitter.

Stop ‘fixing’ things that aren’t broken and leave us alone. There are plenty of REAL problems people have been begging you to address for years that you don’t care about.

You sleep, I watch
