![]() 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. Maxis Match CC is pretty much what it sounds like: custom content by fans that's designed to match the stylized look of The Sims 4's original content created by Maxis.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. Many Simmers refer to CC as "Alpha CC" and "Maxis Match." Alpha CC is intended to look more realistic, often adding special skin textures, eyes, and realistic clothing or furniture.
