helloo don't mean to bother and don't wanna seem rude but.. how come you block those who like your art and don't reblog it? I just randomly stumbled onto your post and found it.. odd? I can't find the word, I just don't really get why you dislike the idea of people only liking your art to the point where you'd block them
(like I get when people say reblog>like but not to the point of blocking ppl)
asking cause I wanna know your own thought process, in case I'm misunderstanding something
hi! it’s not a bother or rude at all, don’t worry ^^;
it’s more that it’s annoying to me, really. likes don’t really do anything. tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm, not the way other social medias do. posts have to be reblogged for people to see them
likes can also just be mindless. that’s how i was at first, just liking everything that came across my dash because i didn’t understand how tumblr worked. likes don’t really mean anything to me, while reblogs are intentional and show that you actually enjoyed my art. if you’re not going to reblog my art, i’d rather you just don’t interact at all, in all honesty. it can be pretty discouraging to see that people notice your art, but don’t want to it to show others. i also like reading whatever people put in the tags (that’s not required though! blank reblogs are great too)
blocking also doesn’t really hold the same weight on tumblr as it does on, say, twitter. it just means that you can’t reblog the posts of whoever has you blocked, and if you’re not going to reblog my art anyway, there shouldn’t really be an issue with that
