This is straight up why I reblog my own stuff, because otherwise it just sits sometimes for months on end without any activity and then when I bump it people are like “omg! This is great!! How did I never see this one?” Not to sound like a nursing home resident but back then people know that the point of this site was to reblog things and share them, not to bury them away among your other 23k liked posts These are posts from 2013, look at the ratio We’re just stating facts.Īlso I’ve seen some people in the tags say ‘oh there have always been more likes on posts’ no there haven’t ? You stop seeing the posts, because nobody is putting them on your dashboard, because this site doesn’t have an algorithm like twitter and insta’s and it shouldn’t, it’s the last bastion of chronological timelines.įorgive my giant fucking rant I am so tired right now and full of the plague but like stop acting like artists and writers are just being whiny little babies, or “threatening” to withhold our fucking work (you’re not entitled to it! it’s ours! if we get nothing out of sharing it we’re well within our rights to keep it private!) when we say this site will dry up without reblogs. And if it’s not on your dashboard, you won’t see it.
We create for ourselves, but we share because we want people to see it, because that engagement offers positive feedback and encouragement to continue.īut more than that, if every post (whether art, fic, gifset, whatever) is dying within an hour or a day of being posted, that means it’s not making it onto your dashboard. That “lifespan” of the post matters, artists and writers give up on this site and go to sites where posts have longer lifespans because it sucks to spend hours of your life, maybe even days, to get two notes and some fucking pocket lint for your efforts. It’s like a contagion, but we’re sharing creativity instead of disease.Īnd that matters. It gets pushed down the dashboard and nobody aside from the followers who were online when it was posted will see it.Īnd there’s a huge difference in engagement on posts that get even one lucky reblog from someone with wider reach - that one reblog shows your post to five, ten, fifteen other people, and if one of those people also reblogs it, and so on and so forth, that’s how posts stay alive and in circulation. No matter how good it is, no matter how many hours of painstaking love and attention its creator put into it, it will be dead within an hour and never seen again. Without reblogs, a post will be dead in the water within an hour. They’re personal bookmarks and the only people who “get” anything from them are you (you bookmark the post) and the OP (maybe a very slight serotonin boost), but they don’t keep the post in circulation, they don’t keep it alive. They were never part of how tumblr works - in the early days we didn’t even have a like button, and the site still more or less acts as though we don’t.
It’s not a threat, either, it’s a comment on how this site works, at a mechanical level. There’s people in the notes talking about “not basing your worth off numbers”, and like. 1.I am begging you all to stop treating this site like instagram if you dont want it to be content free by next yearĪctually i’m reblogging this again with commentary, fuck it. While there are not as many grunge cc creators as I’d like, I still managed to put together the best sims 4 grunge cc for you to enjoy. Any use of mods (custom content or game mods) should be done with caution and with the knowledge that there may be risks. There has been a lot of crossover in recent years, so don’t be surprised to see some punk and goth presence in the collection below.ĭisclaimer: The following mods are neither endorsed nor affiliated with The Sims, Maxis, or Electronic Arts. I’ll admit this task was fun, given how much I love plaid and its presence in alternative grunge clothing. I’ve compiled a great collection of grunge custom content to fill your cc folder. With such fantastic custom content creators for the sims 4, it’s no surprise there is a little something for everyone. Maybe you just want some edgy looks to complete your sims 4 grunge cc collection or werewolves clothing options? Are you into the classic grunge vibes of Nirvana and Pearl Jam?
