on the one hand this is a joke post because lol i have never made a good post in my life, but also, if i hadn’t made the connection between this update and my sudden nosedive in activity, i would have been really fucking discouraged about all the shit i’ve been working on lately. i guarantee there are people on tumblr right now who haven’t made that connection, and who are trying to figure out why suddenly no one likes anything they’ve made. and that fucking sucks.
Reminder to go into your settings and turn off ‘Best Stuff First’ because my activity’s tanked a couple days ago for no reason so this stuff IS happening.
You WILL miss content with that setting on.
i ain’t joking when i say that my activity looks JUST like this too and i wasn’t sure why
I can only find the option on the app under Settings > Dashboard Preferences.
To support content creators do us a favour and turn off “Best stuff first”. Open the tumblr app (Android or iOs) and go to “Settings > Dashboard Preferences. And please reblog this post, so that everybody will see this. Thank you very much!
My numbers went from around 100 per day to under 50 in the last 24 hours.
I’m on a desktop and it hasn’t rolled out here yet afaik?
Mine hasn’t tanked this dramatically but it’s definitely dropped. Turn off this “best stuff first” shit.
So, fucking wow. That’s how much it’s changed since ‘best stuff first’ rolled out’.
What the fuck.
Definitely turn that shit off immediately.
‘Best stuff first’ is bad for content creators and people who like consuming content alike. Turn it off, guys - all of us as creators would be really grateful.
