Tumblr Algorithm - Blog Posts

tumblr really trying to show me things that aren't good omens but oh no i will not be broken

TUMBLR PLEASE

I know I shouldn't find this so funny but it's fuckin 3 am and my humor has been lost

This is how people gain followers on Tumblr in a nutshell.

Also, he just picked her up and now she lives rent free in the corner of his mind. Actually, he's the one paying rent because he's giving her the ingredients she desires.

I love that Jinshi was like, “this girl is the weirdest person I’ve ever met. I’m keeping her!” That is the kind of instant and complete acceptance we little freaks need.

I’ve only had tumblr for a few minutes and it’s already recommending me pretty rocks and minerals. Like, yes I know I clicked the Geology, but I thought I’d be getting a lot more canyons and stuff first.

Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?

I agree, it’s annoying to be a tumbler writer, but it’s also fun! There’s positives and negatives and I would like to help make light of this (because it’s true and people need to see this ^^

you wanna talk about why content creators are leaving tumblr and leaving you high and dry without material to fantasize over? let's talk about it.

hmm, lets see!

first of all, none of you fucking care to reblog our work. we are all aware of how tumblr's algorithm is absolute trash. writers have been BEGGING for readers reblog their works bc it's the only way our works can be seen and in turn, we receive the fruits of our labor via followers and exposure. but no, lets make MORE THAN HALF of the likes to reblog ratios consist of fucking LIKES. on top of that, we don't we shit on writers for wanting the absolute BARE MINIMUM aka a REBLOG bc well, they're not entitled to it aren't they? while writers aren't necessarily entitled to notes, answer this; do you work for free? do you bust your ass doing something knowing that there will be no pay off what so ever? that's what i thought.

secondly, you treat us like shit. you expect us to spit out content like we're a machine and when we don't get to it on time bc we have - idk - LIVES, you send the shittiest asks demanding for more content that you aren't even paying for. do you think people are gonna neglect their real life responsibilities to write for YOU and for FREE? absolutely not. on top of that, when we start writing for ourselves and our own spaces, we get push back. yea, not an effective way to encourage your favorite fic writers to give you more content to consume.

and lastly, YOU STEAL FROM US. each and every fic that a writer puts out has taken hours, days, weeks, or even months to write. that's lots of hard work and time invested into one single piece for you. free of charge. people put their fucking hearts into their work. and what do you do in return? disrespect them in one of the most hurtful ways possible.

so yea, i don't blame a single fucking person for leaving this shithole and NONE of you should be surprised. this is YOUR doing.
