Tumblr is such a facinating ecosystem to post within.
On one hand we do sorta have the number chasing thing on other social media platforms but like just to a much lesser degree
The objective is like 5 notes or if you're lucky 50 anything more than that is just a happy little bonus!
Only until a certain point however.
Everyone on this site exists in perpetual fear of being elected popular and its marvelous
We treat "#10k to me" like a fucking threat :D an eldritch invocation, taunting the universe, begging Zeus to strike us down for our hubris of positing funny little words on tumbrdotcom.
No other site has this culture and I love it so so so much this is my home *crying a little bit* I love you guys
