Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

“You've created the following awful situation - a small creator creates art that gets 10 notes > a large creator reblogs with nice words of encouragement > because of their large following, possibly hundreds more people like and reblog the art but those notes are being attributed to to reblogger no the OP > OP continues to see ten notes making them feel shit about themselves, their art, and the community > small artist leaves thinking no one liked what they created when they DONT KNOW hundreds of other people also enjoyed the art. Congratulations you fucks.”- @forsaire

i'm sorry to be so harsh yet again but my patience dwindles with folks who refuse to make art at all because they claim to be too unskilled or no good

1. its not about skill, what they'd tell you in kindergarten was all true, it really is about self expression. Personally I really couldn't care less if you can draw an arm good, nobody really does;

2. you have got to rewire your brain about art needing to be something to be sold for the entire process to be worthwhile, it's a horrendous line of thinking, you can and should do things to enrich yourself

It's like if you were really hungry, like on the brink of passing out hungry, and you were given food that you can consume either cooked or raw, it really doesn't matter, and you were like. Oh I don't know how to cook tho. Okay, then starve I guess

do you actually like being alone or did you just get used to no one ever showing up for you
