But you're not contributing. The person who made the thing you're sharing and vicariously getting attention from is the one contributing.

At best you're promoting, but for the most part people who do what you do are only promoting themselves, not the artwork/fic/whatever they're sharing.

Gotta disagree with you there. For me, some of the people I follow are contributing to my fandom experience simply by acting as filters.

There's a lot of content pertaining to my interests that I'd never see if it required following the original creator, because that would mean putting up with all sorts of other crap that person is into that doesn't interest me. But if someone else following that person reblogs only the kind of things I like, I can follow them instead, give the shit I don't want a pass, and still enjoy the stuff I do. That person in the middle is performing a valuable service for me, even if they never create anything themselves.

That's why communities, mailing list and forums worked so well before, since they had an specific focus (a fandom, a ship, a character, etc) so a middleman service wasn't necessary.

That made things easier to find, no one had to do an extra job, off topic stuff was less common...

Now not knowing/following the right rebloger means never being able to find anything unless you're willing to waste hours browsing tags.

And someone with opposing tastes to yours would say that those people acting as filters are spamming the tags with things they're not interested in. What's a valuable service to you is contributing absolutely nothing to somebody else.

Re: NAYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Reblogs don't show up in the tags, only the original posts do. So people who reblog stuff aren't spamming any tags.

It seems like the main problem with Tumblr is old farts ranting about how it sucks and is killing fandom when they don't even understand the most basic of its functions.

da

yeah, totally agree. curating is invaluable, and i see way more content from creators via these filter blogs than i would without them.

I think that actually shows one of the weaknesses of the platform, though. When there were communities dedicated to specific fandoms and parts of fandoms, this kind of thing wasn't as necessary.
