I would add, nowadays with tumblr, if somebody with a huge tumblr following writes a fic, there's a higher likelihood of people reading it even if it's mediocre than if somebody obscure writes something.
I myself notice that for all that I do have followers, if somebody with a big following reblogs it will make my numbers jump drastically. Ergo, to some extent it really is about exposure.

Very true. Tagging appropriately helps to a certain extent, but a lot of people don't seem to spend much, if any, time in the tags; they get all their content from the blogs they follow. So, if you want decent exposure, then you either need to hit a critical mass of followers, or someone with a lot of followers has to be in to your work.

I guess to a certain extent, that's not too different from how it used to be. You were always going to get more traffic if a BNF rec'd you. But it does seem like the set-up of tumblr makes it a little harder for a newbie to break out.

[ketita]

Yeah. I mean in the LJ format, at the end of the day a lot of people did still check the comms, I think. Recs helped, but the comms were moderated and a major hub of activity. So people might not necessarily click on your links as often without recs, but you could still at least be *seen*, which is a start.

I've also noticed on tumblr that it seems like very few people check the major tags, in part because they're so easily spammed.

I'm in one fandom that seems to use the tags, but otherwise most of the time I feel like one of the few people who bothers.
