so i’ve been seeing a lot of posts taking note of the decrease in reblogging content as of late, and you all have probably seen them a bunch of times too, so i’m sorry to be sounding like a broken record lol but i just wanted to focus on the kdrama fandom for a second

this fandom is already quite small - especially with individual kdramas 

and its always been quite uneven in regards to how many people watch certain dramas, so i never really gave it too much thought when i got few notes

but the more i think about it, there definitely is a huge gap, where before 'popular dramas' would get like over 1k reblogs, but now i assume a drama is popular if it gets even 300 - and maybe the kdrama fandom in general has become smaller, but seeing the same issue across fandoms, i’m pretty sure its because people just don’t reblog content

and thats sucks. 

content creators spend ages and ages creating the things they post - and not to sound like a bitch but ‘likes’ don’t really do that effort justice

and i’m not saying “reblog everything you ass! even the things you hate!” - if you’re physically clicking ‘like’ then theres something about the post you do enjoy, so why not validate the creator? its not like we’re asking for money, or for you to click an ad for every 5 gifsets you look at or anything lmao (i mean tumblr does, but we dont) 

and like, if you’re really really not about reblogging - maybe your blog is a mainly in another fandom or something 

i think there are 2 other big things (i feel) you can do to help content creators, especially in smaller fandoms: 

1. post in the tag. i’m sure you all know about the tag limit (you can’t post more than 3 in a row unless 5 others post between your 3rd & 4th posts) and so in smaller fandoms, there are maybe 3-4 regular content creators (honestly sometimes less)

and what has happened to me in the past is, i begin having to wait days before i can post new content bc otherwise my posts are gone (sometimes no ones posts until a week later when theres a new ep and suddenly its not just 7 posts im waiting to post, but like 14), or i just have to step back and only post 3 of the 10 gifsets i had planned (anyone who has been following me for a while might have noticed in the past i used to gif like 6/7 things per ep but now its like 2 things and thats 70% bc of dead tags) - i’ve seen my mutuals have the same problem and im sure loads of other people do too 

but if more people just jumped into the tag for the dramas they’re watching, it helps immensely!!!! and im not saying ‘make a gifset!!!’, ‘write a review!!!’, ‘post some fanfiction!’, i literally mean like going onto tags just to say “oh i love this character”, “this episode sucked”, “i hate this thing in the drama” etc etc 

and not only does this help fill the tag for content creators but it also (as corny as it sounds) brings life to the fandom, people will agree, disagree, maybe feel inspired to rant lmao - but at least it wont be like speaking to a brick wall

2. leave a reply. you don’t want to reblog and you don’t want to post in the tag either, but you do watch this drama and you did see a post you liked - drop a reply! tell OP how much you enjoyed whatever they posted, tell them what you thought during that scene/episode, just be like ‘damn he’s hot’ literally anything??? no offence, but i’d rather get 10 replies than 50 likes - it feels less robotic?? 

anyhow, im going to stop here bc this became an essay before i realised it lmao but yeah, support content creators we have nothing but validation to keep us ticking along!!!

#i aim to use my likes only when im gonna reblog later #maybe bc im on mobile and i cant even see the gifs properly #or maybe bc i have things to say/specific tags to add but im being lazy so im leaving it for later #im not saying everyone should follow suit #and im pretty bad at tagging posts and i dont really reply to posts either #but i just wanted you guys to know there are other options for when you can't reblog a post #babbles
