Can I just...
In lieu of the new tumblr settings, can I make yet another plea with those of you who read fics and consume art on tumblr to please reblog them?
Fics and art will die on a creator’s dash if they aren’t reblogged. It’s never been more true than now.
If you want to keep receiving content from creators, reblog the the content. If it’s something you enjoyed? Reblog it. It’s not hard. I am going to make a point to reblog everything I read from now on. (With the proper tags of course), as well as all the art that I see on my dash.
I cannot make it simpler. Posts WILL die unless they’re reblogged. No one will see your ‘like’. Your like is a bookmark for YOU to find it later. Your reblog means the world to a creator because it means you are willing to go the little extra distance and recommend this to your followers.
Don’t let creations die on the dash of those who created them.
Reblog to save a creation.
Reblog to keep a creator creating.
Reblog, please.
Ironically, Tumblr ate my last attempt at this post, so I’ll keep it sweet:
1. It makes content creators’ day when you interact with us, especially reblog.
2. Comments and tag blathering are really, really special to me, and I look at allllll my reblogs just in case someone said something interesting in the tags.
3. It works. @dresupi reblogged something of mine and I immediately got more notes.
- or solve the problem entirely:
1. disable the damned setting thing and view your posts in chronological order.
2. Comment, reblog, like for your fave artists and authors. Because they are worth it. [Insert own inner image/gif of Lotor hairflipping here]
(Also, why is dumbr doing everything it possibly can to chase off fandom?)
why…. do social media managers think we ever want to see posts in anything other than chronological order? why???
Even if some alter the settings, though, (which we’re grateful for), most will use default settings. Hence —
Posts WILL die unless they’re reblogged.
