Here is your daily friendly reminder to support your local small internet artists by following these simple steps:

  1. Turning off “Best stuff first” on the tumblr app, it’s in the account settings under Dashboard Preferences
  2. Reblogging, instead of liking and moving on:
    Especially now with the new bullshit tumbr rolled out, its more important than ever to not only like something you see and like. No-one is gonna see your likes, only through reblogging an artist’s work will be shared with as many people as possible.

This has been a PSA, thank you and good night

To turn off Best Stuff first in the Android app, go into your account (the little person on the bottom right), then settings (the little wheel at the top right), click on General Settings (the first heading), then Dashboard Preferences, and flip the little switch OFF.

And I really want to second the “reblog, don’t just like” message. This includes fics and links to fics on AO3 as well as artworks.

@staff, you’re killing small-time creators. Maybe that’s your goal, being all evil and corporate and whatnot, but everyone I know hates this feature and has seen a huge drop-off in blog interaction since it was rolled out.
