No, not really.
If several users post gifs of the same scene, most people will choose (in the tags) the one with more notes, so BNFs still get more exposure.

Plus most stuff gets burried rather fast in the tags, so getting noticed is not as simple.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, both this, and there's the fact that if you just search the tag (rather than track it), you get most popular posts first. Also, while I certainly get notes from just posting to the tags, I always get surges when someone with a lot of followers reblogs one of my posts. So not only are the BNFs more likely to get notes (because more followers), but they also have some ability to dictate what else gets popular.

"I always get surges when someone with a lot of followers reblogs one of my posts."

Same. Not only that, but I often see reblogs/likes from people I know religiously track and follow the tags I've posted in, but only ever reblog/like when my post has apparently been approved by a BNF as being reblog/like-worthy.

Yeah, I hate this the most. That as a content creator, your exposure is dictated by whether or not popular people deign to grant you exposure ('cause let's be fair, the tags are mostly useless).
On LJ everybody was on the same footing - things were archived linearly, and somebody scrolling through a pairing comm saw everything in the pairing comm. The way it worked, ironically sometimes you got more traffic by posting to the smaller more specific comms, because that way all the people interested in your stuff could find you easily.

Yeah I know, you still had cliques and rec lists and whatnot, but you'll always have word of mouth in fandom. But now it's word-of-mouth to even get /seen/ in the first place.

Yeah, I really hate that the search function doesn't take you to the actual tag. It's the most infuriating thing to me about tumblr. To go into the tag, you have to take an extra step.
