I made fanart because I loved the characters and the shows, and I posted fanart because I really wanted fandom friends to gush about stuff with!
But then eventually I got over 6000 notes on one of my drawing sets and I realized I didn't even make a single friend off of it (I don't know if 6000 is considered all that much in the Tumblr world, but just statistically speaking, 0 out of 6000 is a pretty big gap.) Attention like that feels so impersonal and distant that it doesn't even feel like attention; I don't see the allure of having so many notes if none of them even brings forth any interaction.
I haven't felt the inclination to post on Tumblr since...

this is exactly why i don't use tumblr.

my favorite part of drawing something (or writing it) is talking with someone over it... (or the characters in it/etc)

ive gotten to the point where i dont even post my art anywhere...just share it with my fandom buddy. :b so much more rewarding than faceless people clicking a +1 button.

I know your pain, anon. They don't even look at the artist's blog, they just mindlessly reblog the pretty. I have a lot of complaints about dA but at least there is a marginal interaction.

I guess it depends which fandom on tumblr, because some artist in my fandom interact with each other and people leave critiques and funny captions... and it's really fun.

Though I guess you, at the artist, have to initiate it. You can't just put something out and expect people to talk to you, you have to ask them a question or some kind of opening for conversation to get the ball rolling. If it's a decent sized fandom you can create a little network of friends.

This is how it's done in the two fandoms I'm part of on tumblr.
