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.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

This update makes me extremely anxious. It is now more difficult than ever to track who is interacting with my posts. I've dealt with stalking and harassment on this website for years, and the idea that the people stalking me can reblog my posts without my knowing makes me want to significantly reduce my presence here.

Additionally, it undercuts one of the core aspects of why I use this website. As an amateur edutainment writer, I love that people can ask me questions, and I can respond with essay-length reblogs. Under the new system, if a post leaves my orbit, I have no way of tracking it. Are people confused? Angry? Maliciously misinterpreting? Having fun? I can't know.

Here's the thing: the significant part of that sentence is not "will even quit unfulfilling jobs" -- no, that's just setup. "Without a backup plan" is the significant part. And that's a big deal.

Any halfway decent employment advice will tell you to never quit a job without your next one lined up, not unless your current job is literally about to get you arrested or hospitalized. And that is sensible advice -- don't cut off your income stream until you know you can replace it, and don't put yourself in a position where you have to accept whatever job offer you get to avoid falling behind on rent/mortgage payments and losing your home.

But that also means that you can't quit quickly, because job hunts generally take a while. Shitty employers can know that you will be stuck with them for a while, and even a pretty major fuckup on their part is not likely to be met with a wave of resignations.

If Gen Z are more willing to say "fuck you" and walk off, that means that that security for lousy employers erodes.

So, pressure to limit benefits for people who resigned rather then being fired or regulatory waiting times before you are eligible only serves employers in the end.

Conservatives love hammering on only giving benefits to the "deserving" but that doesn't help us as a society. In the end, a shitty work environment costs us all. People get burned out, tension at home increases, people worry more about bills and don't have the energy for anything else. We as a society suffer.
