Are you actually contributing, or falling prey to the delusion Tumblr offers that by reblogging other people's stuff you're actually contributing anything yourself?

What's the difference between e.g. reblogging and commenting on a discussion vs. commenting on a forum or a journal? I'm presuming from your post that a lot of these Tumblr discussions are with people who aren't fandom friends (yet), so why the difference between commenting on a stranger's blog or commenting on a stranger's Tumblr? If anything, the blog is more discreet and self-contained (and should you choose to delete your comment, then that's it, it's gone from the one existing source) and if you do get the brush off at least it's not visibly reblogged to a hundred, a thousand dashboards for all eternity.

This is probably why OP has had issues participating in fandom.

OP: I feel like I'm contributing.
You: I'm going to presume you're not contributing the right way and judge you.

Or maybe they have issues in fandom because no one's interested in dealing with someone who just takes, takes, takes, and feels as though everyone else is there just to provide them with things.

rme reblogging things is not "taking" if you don't like the reblogging system, don't post your shit to tumblr

It's not like people post stuff that isn't in tumblr, most of the times without even sourcing... oh, waitaminute.

It's "taking" in the sense that you don't have to do anything yourself. You don't have to make any content or start any discussions. You can piggyback off of everyone else's accomplishments and tell yourself you're contributing by saying "I like this."
