this, tbh. I got over 2k followers just reblogging shit for a pairing.
Wheras on LJ you had discussions, and the people who got the most attention were those who created content.
What's still true is that porn rules the game...

And that's so frustrating. I'm a content creator, but I only have about 25 followers. Everyone is following the people who reblog the things that every single other blog is reblogging.

But I'm still gonna focus on creating because, since I'm able to create, I feel like I should. I want to contribute to fandom and help keep it active and healthy, and even though I don't have a lot of followers, I think the best way for me to do that is to keep creating.

NAYRT That sounds so frustrating, anon. I create too, but I just flat out avoid Tumblr. I just submit to AO3, otherwise I'd go mad.

"Everyone is following the people who reblog the things that every single other blog is reblogging."

And when you think about it, the levels of sheer laziness inherent in that idea is frightening.

It's basically following the aggregator of aggregators of stuff they only found in the first place because seeking it out off your own steam (or, God forbid, make it yourself!) is just too damn hard.

You don't even have to interact with it, not even to the level of a "moar!" comment. Just click something and the site does all the interaction for you.

One of the most frustrating things about tumblr is to see someone post your content and get 50,000 notes where when you posted it there was only 5.

I mean you CAN as a content creator, get followers, and get people to reblog from you, but it can take time and you gotta make sure people know who you are so that when someone does repost your content, you find out about it.

I have a good amount of followers but sometimes my stuff still gets ignored until someone else decides to reblog it. I'm just usually glad when people reblog rather then repost, because even when a repost is credited you don't gain as many followers that way. Followers can be important, the more people who follow my work the more commissions I get, so it's something I'm grateful for.
