Reblogging from original source = giving original source credit, showing the artist you appreciate their work by increasing the number of notes

Reposting = claiming someone else's work as your own, taking notes and credit away from the original source, it's basically stealing.

Really? I've always thought the two words were basically interchangeable, since they both mean the same thing in the abstract.

*Do* a lot of people claiming unsourced stuff as their own? My experience has mostly been - 'this is cool, i'm going to hit the 'reblog' button!' And then I get frustrated because there's no source link. Maybe on Tumblrs with more fanart? I don't know.

Thanks for the explanation. :)

[badass_tiger]

Nope, they're pretty different things. There are entire blogs out there that do nothing but repost other people's works without sourcing it and they're a huge source of grief for artists who actually want to be acknowledged for the work they do. If there's no source and the person who originally posted it isn't the artist, then they've reposted it. It doesn't just happen to artists either, gifsets and graphics get stolen a lot too.

Meh. I don't repost something (reblog? Whatever) on Tumblr unless there's a source, and i've even used tineye and hunted a source down, in the past. I *like* knowing who made an artwork - they might have made more!

The way tumblr is set up, it encourages reposting above all else. I had no idea of the difference between reposting and reblogging when I started, but reposting is a lot easier, so that's what I did.

Then you get all these angry posts about the evils of reposting. As a newbie, it's really confusing since you don't even know what that is. Both reblogging and reposting look exactly the same - the art is posted on your blog.

Reposting is much easier nine times out of ten. If you go on DA there's even a little button on the corner which you can click and it immediately reposts the art onto your tumblr. Compare that to reblogging, which can nearly be impossible, because artists rarely give a tumblr link for reblogging for each piece of art.

Yet tumblr gets a free pass for this behavior, and the reposters are blamed, when they're only doing what the site is encouraging them to do.
