This, absolutely.

When I first joined Tumblr I was fresh and motivated and cranking out fics almost every second day, and it didn't matter what kind of post I made I would be swamped with replies and messages and interaction. I was gaining followers by the hundreds every night.

But then I went through a slump, and now I'm still at 3,700 followers, everyone is still THERE, nobody unfollowed me, but I feel like I'm talking to the void. Every post I make gets maybe a couple notes, I usually end up deleting personal posts because nobody talks to me, they've just stopped caring about me because I'm no longer creating content regularly, which I think is what hurts the most.

I don't even really care about being popular, but this mindset of 'either you create content 24/7 or you're literally so unimportant nobody will spare you a glance' has kind of ruined my experience with everything. The fact that it's popularity or nothing really sucks.

I kinda feel that way too. I only have 1300 followers on my main blog, so nowhere near as many as you, but since I'm working fulltime now and started posting less often, it seems like no one is interested in talking to me at all :\

I feel exactly the same way. I was more for meta posts than personal posts, but switch that part out (and sub 3700 for 1400) and that's the summation of my fandom experience over the past three or so years.

Fandom off/before Tumblr at least gave you the impression that people were talking to you because they were somehow interested in the things you had to say about your shared interest. Now the only kind of interaction I get are anon comments demanding fic updates.
