There's just one thing I wanna see changed in Tumblr.
The usernames on a post are:
1>The person who just shared the post (in bold, top of post)
2>The person that 1 just shared it from (just under 1's name)
3>The actual content of the post
4>The original author of the post (grayed out and in slightly finer print)
For a site that places a lot of importance on artists (and where you can often find complaints of "art thieves"), it's kind of puzzling why the actual creator is given so little importance compared to the person who clicked the "share" button.
- philh 11y agoThe person who clicked 'share' is the person who caused it to show up on my dash. If my dash gets too low signal-to-noise, I want to know who to unfollow. Also, the original author isn't necessarily the main 'artist'. Sometimes most of the value comes from the replies. I could pick words at random out of a dictionary and find something I'd change about tumblr, but that one doesn't seem too bad.
- dawnbreez 11y agoIt just seems disingenuous to me. Then again, I do follow several Tumblrs that post collections of art created by others, so there's a lot of confusion.
