#post stealing

You aren't slick btw, and the audacity to like my post before stealing it and somehow making it sound less romantic (because you haven't had an original thought in your life). Get fucked, your entire blog is full of stolen posts

Stealing someone else’s post on Tumblr dot com

So okay, I use twt and tumblr a lot, and after a while you notice that despite twt seemingly hating tumblr, they steal a lot of posts. So it’s no wonder tumblr hates twt too. I usually ignored it and stuff because why would they listen to a kpop twt, but this one did not sit right with me.

Stolen from this post:

It made me angry that they stole it, but also that they erased the fact that it was for adhd people - and they aren’t adhd

So I silently posted the screen cap of the original, they must’ve felt threatened because they replied lol

Anyway, I suggested staying away from this person, I know I will be

I thought that here in Tumblr and within our swiftie community we were free from people stealing our posts or ideas. Apparently I was wrong. The worst part is, it's usually a popular blog "borrowing" from a small one, maybe taking their chance to grow or to be noticed by Taylor. And most people wouldn't ever know because they don't follow that small blog, so they get away with the reposting. It really saddens me that this is happening, the lengths some people will go to, to be noticed (yet again) taking that chance from someone else who might have never ever gotten a like from Taylor. We should be more helpful, show solidarity amongst ourselves. Please spread kindness, not selfishness!

There's an old Tumblr method of trolling that I haven't seen in years. I'm hesitant to tell you, because people will use it to ruin and derail political conversations, or be obnoxious to anyone they don't like. But back when this site was friendly and actually a safe space for everyone, it was good clean fun. Basically, you would just take over someone else's post. That's it. It would be a post, maybe about how a certain food didn't taste good, and someone else would reblog with, "this post is now about sharks" and then post photos and facts about sharks and their followers would reblog with more sharks. I'm worried yall will do this with say, posts about Trump, or people who draw fanart you don't like, or #alllivesmatter. Really, that's the wrong spirit, it was like - a simple post with not much going on was doomed to die off with little to no notes, let's just take it over spontaneously to be silly, and see how many people can keep it going. - I hope if it ever comes back people keep it in that spirit of silliness.

Apparently, some people on Tumblr have started copying popular posts from old blogs word for word, passing them off as their own.

I'm just going to sit here with my never-ending 'Reasoning With Vampires' repost-spree. Did you know people still find those and like them, leading them to a lovely old blog that someone worked very hard on fifteen years ago?

I'd rather have that than personal attention for my posts. Dana was incredibly important in my formation as a reader and writer, and she's done some amazing work on this site. I'm literally here because of her.

Noteworthy that some people have been Tumblr users for so long that they know and remember the posts you're stealing. It tanks your reputation for no reason, as the blog you use that gets associated with this practice is forever tainted with it.
