why you should reblog and support content creators
iâve been on tumblr since 2012 and became a content creator in 2014/5, so iâve been here for years and I can confirm that: people barely reblog posts now and itâs becoming an issue. yes content creators make stuff mostly for them, but if we post them itâs so people can see and enjoy it. and this happens when you hit âreblogâ
the likes/reblogs ratios is a big disaster. when I first started, the reblogs were like 70% of a post with 30% of likes. now itâs 10% reblogs and 90% likes. likes are good, donât get me wrong, but they donât give us visibility.
reblogging = sharing posts to your followers. itâs easy and quick
reblogs are important because it motivates people to create stuff and create more
itâs a great way to introduce your followers to a show/an artist/sports. i donât wanna throw myself flowers but a few of my followers got into motorsport because I was reblogging posts about it (and also creating gifs and edits)
reblogs are a great way to make new friends because your followers/mutuals will see you have stuff in common and it will help to engage a conversation and start a friendship.
content creators spend a lot of time editing and a reblog shows that these hours werenât lostÂ
reblogging helps us making our work be seen as tumblrâs tags are sometimes broken and they donât appear in tags
it encourages people to create more and. iâm posting graphics and reblogs are encouraging me to keep posting them and creating more
top bonus is when you leave nice stuff in the tags. we see them and we love it and we love you
reblog because itâs free and the button exists for a reason
there is many more reasons but i wonât spam you
WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT CONTENT CREATORS
we provide stuff for free
we take requests and make stuff you ask for
we share our resources: colorings, writing tips, where to get pictures, where to get fonts, tutorials, links for softwares
because we struggle a lot with tumblrâs tags
because people are sometimes rude to us and send rude asks (ex: writers - to publish their writings sooner)
because our work is being stolen by people claiming itâs theirs
because our work is being reposted on other social medias without asking us and crediting
iâm not pointing a gun to your face screaming âREBLOGâ, iâm just telling you that if you like a post, you should think about reblogging it so your followers can see it and youâll make one person happy <3
