Good Luck, Fellow Artists!

Good luck, fellow artists!

The urge to work on my webcomic thing always shows up at the worst moments. Like, I gotta go outside and do stuff today, brain! Why do I suddenly want to sit down and draw for hours?

At least it beats artist’s block.

I was surprised for all of three seconds. Well played, quiz. Well played.

Darting my eyes... What if I made a Pizza Tower personality quiz...?

Tumblr is thinking of implementing an algorithm instead of the current following feed to ‘help smaller creators get in front of people’ and I’m like that’s what putting tags on your posts is for?

I’ve curated my following feed over YEARS and I don’t want it all of a sudden junked up with shit I’m not interested in because of some fucking algorithm. If smaller creators want to be seen, then they should put stuff in the tags. Putting random people’s shit all over my feed is not going to make me want to engage with it.

The reason why so many people like this website is because you are in control of tailoring your experience on here. But what that requires is some work— you can’t just come on here and expect it to be immediately altered to you personally. That being said, an algorithm that just throws shit at you that it thinks you’ll like is not the answer. At the end of the day it’s going to actually make it harder for people to tailor their experience on here, which will make the site worse.

I forget that Tumblr is a thing for like, months at a time and then I come back one day like “damn. You mean that Tumblr *isn’t* just a feverdream?”
