well for me its not just that tumblr has the worst community ever (and it does) its also a terrible site for displaying your art, which is why it baffles me so much that so many artists are starting to use it as the only site to display their works.

most artists set up their pages on there to use endless scrolling, similar to what twitter does, and that is literally the worst way someone could set up an art gallery. after years of use it makes it almost impossible to find their earlier works since there are no page numbers and if anything happens on the page that forces you to reload, endless scrolling is unable to get back to where you once where so if that happens and you were really far down then you gotta go through everything all over again. and even the artists who set it up so they have actual pages still dont benefit from it, simple things such as folders and easy to navigate page numbers and thumbnails, and easy communication with your follows are all non existent over there, and all that isnt even including how much of a buggy, poorly coded mess the site is, when you middle click on a picture on tumblr half the time the site cant decide if it wants to open it in a new tab or open that pic or zoom into that pic, the worst one being when it decides randomly that middle click is the same as a left click so it loads the zoomed in pic for you as an entirely new page meaning you gotta click back to get back to where you were, which is a nightmare if you browsing someones gallery on endless scrolling.

gawd... sorry for the rant but I really REALLY hate tumblr and I fucking cant stand artists who abandon actual art sites in favor of it. any artist who does that is a moron who isnt worth following.
