Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?
reblogs have always been in short supply for artists, sadly, but it's hitting the shitposts and even the cat pictures lately. Gotta keep getting the word out that reblogs are good and keep people posting new material that will be passed around for the next 12 years
Theyβre used to other social media sites, where the only equivalent of reblogging is straight-up content theft; so the idea that you can put someone elseβs stuff on your page and have it not be a bad thing is a strange experience for them.
Theyβre likely also used to an algorithm recommending content based on what they hit βlikeβ on, so they probably think that thatβs how this works, too.
