In light of recent news

I just read the pb blog post so I'll be going back to crying then

We gotta talk about why commenting in tags is poison for the artist.

Hey personages. I like and/or tolerate Tumblr culture as much as the next person, but we’ve got to talk about the habit of putting comments in the tags. 

Everyone’s pointed out that reblogs are essential to artists and writers on tumblr because it’s the only way to get eyes on our work, but this goes beyond that.

I’ve been on this site for longer than I care to admit, but as an oldie and one who doesn’t like to have a lot of plugins running, I never had XKIT, so it is only now that I’ve had the ability to check tag updates on my posts.

And for years, I’ve felt like I was screaming into the void, my work apparently making very little impression, because people were posting all kinds of nice, encouraging comments… where I could not see them.

I had no idea people were saying things like this:

These kind, encouraging comments are all from the tags of one of my DynoGuard Art Roundup Posts. DynoGuard is a concept I’m trying to bring to series. 

If the artist isn’t able to easily find this kind of feedback, then what hope does an almost certainly less technically savvy producer have? “I would watch/buy/play this” is the kind of comment that can help move the needle on a creator getting opportunities. 

I’m not calling out people for doing tumblr the way tumblr is done. It’s just that the system isn’t working. As such, updates to that system are needed. 

TL:DR Please, if it’s art, if it’s writing, put the feedback in the reblog comments.

I’m going to reblog this, highlighting the issue that even with Tumblr now having the ability to see tags from the reblog, those are invisible to less savvy users, like, say, a producer or project director dipping into an artists’ blog to see what the hype is.

Replies are even more useless, as not only are they hard to find, you have to do extra work to get them to show in their entirety, and you can’t reply to them without copy-pasting or screenshotting. I don’t even know what the point of them is, maybe @staff knows.

reblog and describe your voice in the tags

[the-bitch-mob]

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.
