i really think people these days just donât understand the point of tumblr? like this isnât instagram or facebook. itâs a blogging platform (whatever you take that to be) which is all about how your page looks⌠meaning you have to actually uhhhhh reblog posts if youâre not gonna make your own⌠and even if you make your own you should still support other content creators on here. i mean goddamn iâm really out here acting as if my like button is brokenâŚ., if you see me liking your post itâs because iâm going to reblog or queue it in a few hours. the only other possible reason is if the Internet Demons are holding me at gunpoint and forcing me to press like. staff needs to just go ahead and disable the like button because this ainât working lol anyway please reblog posts
i just want to point out that nearly every negative response to this post is just further proving my point that people who havenât been here for very long or donât interact with content makers/make content themselves just have no clue why this is an issue. i am FAR from being the first person to point this out but this is something weâre still forced to defend because some people think itâs stupid, self-centered, etc. to be upset about reblogs. to those people I just want to say: what do you think youâre gonna do on this site once you drive off all the gif makers, editors, artists, etc.? do you think youâre going to get the same level of well-crafted and creative exposure to your favorite content on twitter and instagram, websites that notoriously steal from here? you simply will not. it will cease to exist unless another better platform comes along, right now there isnât one. you want to keep berating editors for pointing this out, go right ahead, but donât pretend you have the moral high ground for saying âuwu let people do what they want!~â. you fundamentally misunderstand the point of this website.
