To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:
A post in 2023:
A post in 2014:
A zoom out of the same post:
This is what a community looks like.
See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.
It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.
Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.
If you want more of something, reblog it.

Feared by Life and Death
There lays a place cast far away
Burning with Lucifer's cold rage
Locked in hellfire's tight embrace
Yet, Warmth ousts the infernal flames
Amidst pandemonium
Celestial lightning strikes
Ordered by the Gods themselves
Cast down into the pits of evil
An Angel in search of light
For there's a man in hell
That deserves to be saved

I wanted to draw a badass Cas (again) and this time I also wrote a little poem about him saving Dean :D
I hope you like this simple piece! 💙🧡
