I might eventually go and edit this but
Likes can only go so far for artists. Artists may exclusively upload their artwork to tumblr, or donât have the time to use other sites and prefer tumblr over deviantART due to its simplicity, but the tagging system can make it harder to navigate. Many artists on tumblr tag with high-traffic tags or use their own tags to prevent tag clogging which eventually become lost. Thatâs why itâs very important to reblog an artistâs work.Â
Iâm not trying to push you to ruin your blogâs aesthetic or something, nor am I saying that âyou must absolutely reblog your favourite artistâs work or youâre trashâ, all Iâm saying is if you truly want to support your favourite artist, instead of just liking their posts, try to reblog them once in a while. The more reblogs they receive, the more exposure/notes/followers they may receive, and itâs just one of the easiest ways to show you care about them.
*This does not mean to reblog unsourced artwork or works reuploaded to another personâs blog without permission (re:stolen). Nor does this mean to reblog artworks without the artistâs consent, even if this case is slim.
This, so much this.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Agreed, although I generally only reblog stuff that I really like, or really good stuff from artists who are shamefully under-appreciated.
Also, I wonder how many people will in fact like, but not reblog this post :P
I reblog when I can. :)
This is important
