sometimes you just have to blindly believe in a twow release date leak to feel something again. to feel just one single thing again. someone on 4chan would never lie to me.

Oh wow I hate this. So I tested it a little on a side blog and this is what it does

Then, if you go to the notes on the original post, it only shows the reblog from "two"

So the OP doesn't get to see how much engagement their post has unless people like/reblog from the original post. If someone adds any sort of comment, it splits them up like this. Artists, writers, crafters will see less engagement, nobody will know how far the reach of their post is or if someone says something nice about it. If you want OP to know, you'd have to make a conscious effort to reblog from the first post listed in the chain.

Not only is this going to be bad for general community things, but this could easily promote harassment. You won't see anything but the initial reblog from you if someone makes an addition, so there could be whole conversations that go completely missed.

Thanks, tumblr. Very cool 👍

EDIT: Also, the posts aren't even properly displaying the notes YOUR SPECIFIC VERSION of the post is getting, which this post has shown me.

This is what I see looking at my post at this moment:

But if I go to the reblogs tab of my activity page, we can see

There's a few more than 20 reblogs.

ohhhh my god this is so stupid and ugly and confusing

notes on something i posted on one of my sideblogs earlier today:

notes on my own reblog of the above post where i added a thing:

notes on the same post which somebody reblogged from me with their own addition:

notes on the same post, reblogged from the above reblog, with another addition by somebody else:

i didn't get any of the notes from the last two reblogs or any notifications for them

they've given us fucking qrts from twitter

WHY would anybody EVER want this??

also it doesn't facilitate conversation even in the way they're claiming it does because who's getting the notes for each addition? what happens when you have a long collaborative post with loads of additions from different people? this is a DISASTER

PSA: For fan works, reblog and like from OP

Tumblr is rolling out a new reblog/notes system that completely disregards creators. In their new system, they're taking a twitter-style approach where reblogs will have their own notes that DO NOT contribute to the original post's notes.

Because of this, creators will no longer be able to see an accurate display of likes/reblogs/etc. This is completely altering the way feedback and responses to works are going to be received on this website.

If you come across a fan work that you enjoy, please take the extra step to go to OPs original post, and leave your comment/like/reblog there. Or go one step further and send an ask to OP directly to tell them what you liked!

I really hope Tumblr staff reverses course and reverts to the original reblog system for the sake of the large base of creators who use this site to share their works, but until then, please be considerate and make sure the creators here see/feel the love.
