hey let’s have this conversation again since the like/reblog ratio is getting SOOOO much worse. if you like content, reblog it. the people who follow you cannot see when you’ve liked a post, unless your likes are visible and they are routinely going through them, which i assure you they are not. by reblogging content, you are making it visible to other accounts. fanart, gifs, edits, etc. may be fun to make but they are very time consuming and it is much appreciated that if you enjoy them, you take the brief moment to reblog them to show that appreciation – and it helps. as fun as they may be, it is often kind of discouraging for posts to not do well because for every one person that reblogged it, five left a like and kept it pushing
YES!! absolutely!!! literally what this godawful site was made for! that is the point!
i’m mad all over again because i just saw a wonderful fanart with 100 ish notes — 19 reblogs and 86 likes. do you realize how insane that is? i also had not considered writers in my original post but i went looking and found a fairly popular work by one of my mutuals. 132 reblogs and 1,243 likes. some content might not ‘fit’ your blog but frankly that’s a lame excuse bc 1) you’re consuming it so you clearly like it? 2) make a secondary blog? it’s just crazy to me that people can’t spare a second to do what this site was literally made for but will be quick to request edits, gifs, fics, etc that are hand crafted to be exactly what they want, or save them and use them as their profile pictures without credit, or or or. you like it so much but you can’t make sure it gets seen?
