I come back to Tumblr after a health scare to find it in fucking shambles. This latest update is TERRIBLE and benefits no one! Like why are we trying to fix something that isn't broken! If you're reading this, please use every avenue you can (@staff) to let them know this is a bad idea and will screw over so many creators! We have enough misery in the world, Tumblr.
The Death of the Digital Ecosystem: Why Decoupling Notes Destroys Tumblr
@staff
For years, the total note count on a post served as a universal metric of a piece of content's impact. Whether a user liked the original post or a reblog fifteen branches deep, that engagement flowed back to the source. This ensured that the original artist, writer, or editor received the full credit for the viral success of their work.
Under this new system, engagement is trapped within the specific reblog a user happens to see on their dashboard. If a massive, high-traffic blog reblogs a piece of art from a small creator, every like and reblog that occurs through that larger account stays with them. The original creator is left with a stagnant note count on their own dashboard while their work generates thousands of interactions for someone else.
Erasure of Creator Visibility
Instead of seeing one post with 10,000 notes, a creator may now have to hunt through dozens of different reblog chains to find where the conversation is actually happening.
If the notes no longer flow back to the original post, the creator loses the ability to see who is enjoying their work, what the tags say, and how the community is responding.
On a platform where engagement often dictates visibility, splitting that engagement into tiny, unlinked fractions makes it significantly harder for original works to gain momentum compared to the high-reach blogs that reblog them.
Incentivizing the "Big Blog" Monopoly
This system rewards accounts that have already established a large following at the direct expense of the smaller accounts that actually produce the content. It transforms reblogging from a method of sharing into a method of acquisition.
When a reblog functions as its own independent post with its own note count, the incentive to click through to the original source disappears. The platform is transitioning from a collaborative ecosystem into a standard social media feed where the person who posts the content last—not the person who made it—reaps the rewards.
Impact on Collaborative Conversations
Tumblr’s unique culture is built on the reblog chain: a chronological, evolving conversation. By allowing users to like or reblog "any part" of the chain as an independent entity, the platform is breaking the narrative thread.
If engagement is siloed into specific branches, the incentive to add to a conversation is replaced by an incentive to simply own a piece of the engagement. This change doesn't encourage conversation. It encourages the commodification of individual posts within a chain, making it harder for the original voice to ever be heard over the noise of the rebloggers.
The Disincentive to Create
Perhaps the most damaging aspect of this update is the psychological toll on the creative community. When the platform actively diverts credit and engagement away from the source, it destroys the motivation to share original work at all.
For many, the reward for posting is seeing how far their work travels. If that travel is now invisible or attributed to others, the labor of creating becomes thankless.
This system makes creators want to share nothing. If the platform is built to harvest a creator's effort for the benefit of curator blogs, the logical response is to stop providing the raw material. I am one leaning into this category. Without us creators, the curator blogs have nothing to curate.
By making it harder to protect and track one's own work, the platform is effectively telling creators that their presence is secondary to the conversations happening around their work: conversations they may no longer even be able to find.

Happy New Year! Something quick to celebrate! 2025 ended up being a bit of a rough year for me (as it was for many), especially near the end of it. And for some reason, I decided to hyper-fixate on fanfiction instead of art to cope lol, and thus, my Tumblr ended up taking a bit of a backseat. I plan to fix that this year! I really, REALLY want to start taking art seriously again, which includes all the comic ideas that have been rumbling around in my brain for years(fan and otherwise), and so that is what my tentative goals are this year! For my fic readers, I will still be writing fanfiction. I will simply be writing at a much slower pace as I recover from an ongoing illness and restructure to work on bigger passions with what energy I have! I wish to thank everyone for their wonderful support throughout these last few years, though! BG3 has introduced me to some wonderful people in the community, and I'm still meeting awesome people. I love how this game, and most importantly, these characters, have brought people together. Thank you to everyone who has stuck around to enjoy my character and his relationship with this moody vamp. I'm still deep in the fandom two years later, even as I dabble in other things, and if you're still here with me, here's to another year of our sassy vampire and moody-old drow! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
NO FIC UPDATE THIS WEEK
Due to the most ungodly migraine I've had in a while, my screen time this week has been highly limited. Thus the next chapter of "To Have Stumbled Upon You" is not ready yet. Thank you for your understanding and regular updates will resume next week! <3
My friend said this about AO3 and it’s honestly so true
This has happened to me on more than one occasion. You could spend hours meticulously planning a complicated plot with deep, meaningful relationships, and the random fic you wrote that has the tag "terrible smut inside" will get all the attention. xD
