Hello, I'm Not Dead, Here's A WIP

Hello, I'm not dead, here's a WIP

I agree 100%, specially as a small/beginner artist my reach on Twitter and Instagram is basically just my friends, art mutuals and 2-3 new people. On Tumblr I get up to 25 likes and they're all from strangers (some that are followers, but most aren't).

Twitter is like that person you have to beg to do the bare minimum because they simply do not care about it or about you. You have to post it and you have to follow some rules otherwise it flops, and it never gets shown to your followers, specially if it's old. No more than 3 hashtags or you're a bot, no links or mentions otherwise the post gets shadowbanned. It's a bunch of small rules that we have to learn through trial and error, and they change all the time.

Tumblr on the other hand feels very kind and patient with me, like a parent looking at my drawing and saying "How nice! It's going in the fridge!" and I'm like "Yiiipppee!!".

And it doesn't just stay on the fridge for a day and tough luck if anyone missed it - it's still there, maybe behind new drawings but you still can see it! Your old drawings aren't ignored, your new ones don't have to be rushed or come at specific times. There's no flopping, just maybe a delayed response.

Please never change Tumblr algorithm, I love you, you are very nice to me.

As an artist, the tumblr algorithm is like a comfy bed for me. I have to fight for my life on twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, but on tumblr I can post at 1 am and get just as much reach as if I posted at peak browsing hours. I can go a week without posting and my followers will still see it. My posts keep circulating instead of being dead 3 days after I make them. Thank you tumblr
