why do you block blank blogs?

let's talk about blank blogs.

blank blogs are tumblr accounts that do not have any content, such as reblogs, posts, and often will have no description and no photo.

both of these blogs would be classed as blank.

having a description may stop some people blocking you (such as she/her, 21, and hobbies), though if you do not have any posts, you are still a blank blog. obviously i can't really provide evidence of this without sharing peoples profile photos, etc. which i will not do.

so, why is this an issue?

well, for starters, many creators will simply block you. as creators, we often risk things like being shadow banned, algorithms suppressing our work and even account removal. this is absolutely devastating to those who have worked for hours, and even DAYS on something to have interactions completely killed by the site.

we have no way of knowing a blank blog is not a bot, or even someone on an alt account that could be sending hate, or stealing work (plagiarizing) for their other account.

also, as a blank blog, you are not supporting those you're following. you want to see more fanfiction? more art? many amazing creators have stopped sharing their work purely due to the lack of interactions.

reblogs are the best way to support us. and if we see you not only are not reblogging things we have dedicated weeks of our lives to share with you, but you refuse to share ANYONE'S work, why should we allow you a space in our communities?

if you would like to read fics and follow creators without reblogging, please at least post some other form of content to your profile. this could be something as simple as making a post like 'hey! i'm new to tumblr and im not entirely sure how this all works' or reblogging some photos of something you love.

if you don't want to be viewed as blank, PLEASE just add a description, add a title, a photo and make one post. that's it! it's reallllyyy simple in the grand scheme of things, and will prevent most people from blocking you. of course, without reblogging/commenting, you do run the risk of other creators blocking you (some will block spam likes due to lack of support).

if you ever have questions regarding blank blogs, feel free to ask!

remember, reblogs and comments are the way to support us!

Listen,

This is probably going to sound harsh to some of the new Tumblr people but I am currently in the works of blocking blank accounts.

Blogs with NO content what so ever + a standard profilepicture get blocked. I'm sorry. I'm not about to have my followers list full of bots.

I really do advise new Tumblr users to make a introduction post just... Telling people you're not a bot. Just do SOMETHING. Write "New. Getting to know the vibes" or "Still learning the ropes" is ENOUGH.

Just show us you're a real person. Me, and most likely so many others, are BEGGING YOU to do that. Having a blank blog that just gets you blocked will only give you a very bad impression of Tumblr.
