triviallytrue:

One thing that’s important for everyone who wants to Make Number Go Up to know is that getting famous on tumblr is a very bad way to do it. I’m not like, tumblr famous, but based on the polls that float around, I’m around 97th percentile in follower count - my blog is around ten years old and I’ve been making original posts consistently for close to 4 years now

Within 3 months of joining TikTok, one of my good friends had well over 3 times my current tumblr follower count from a single viral TikTok. And it wasn’t even, like, viral viral!

I’m on here because the way people go viral and build followings on sites like TikTok and twitter scares me. I like gaining followers and getting notes but I also like being in my tiny corner of the internet and not being exposed to The Horrors. If you’re mad about not getting enough reblogs, go post on twitter!

The flip side of this is you have appreciably more traction on a follower’s life here on [tumblr], the connections are less promiscuously numerous but thicker
