wow this is too intimate to share with my close friends or family let me put this on my tumblr blog for hundreds of strangers to see
Let me introduce u to my good friend The Reblog Button:
That little guy does more for me (and other creators) than the like button ever will.
My top headcanon posts Like -> Reblog ratio are usually this:
And those 7 Reblogs are mostly from me.
Let me reiderate: Likes do absolute shit on Tumblr.
The reblog button on this hellsite works similarly to the like button on instagram or tiktok. The more reblogs a post gets the more it rotates and moves around in the tags, which means more people will see it.
Plus as a content creator Reblogs always tend to keep me motivated to keep writing/creating for my fandom. Posts that have 40 likes and 0 Reblogs just kinda dampen my self esteem.
This isnt meant to sound passive aggressive (ok maybe it is a little bit) but I see y'all who like the hc posts and ao3 links. I appreciate it, I really do, but likes don't do anything for creators on Tumblr.
Reblogs are the real money maker for fandom creators and just creators in general on this site.
