Uh…no. Actually that couldn’t be further from the truth. But I guess you’re saying I make crappy gifs? That I’m more worried about getting credit than making better gifs?

Okay, well, it’s not about CREDIT. I don’t even like tagging my gifs because I loathe the way it looks. I’d rather have clean, nice gifs than have to ruin it with a stupid watermark for “credit”. If I were really that concerned with getting credit, I would have a giant tag on every single gif I make just so EVERYONE KNOWS that came from me. No. That’s ridiculous and I don’t care about getting more followers. I just post what I like and if other people like it too, that’s great. However, when you STEAL my shit, that pisses me off.

It bothers me that other people steal gifs because they just want to be a popular blog and think that they only way to do that is to repost everything so it all comes back to them and they get more followers using other people’s stuff. It’s just plain wrong. The whole POINT of tumblr and what separates tumblr from the rest is the “reblog” function. It’s absurd that this is a problem.

I put a lot of time and effort into finding videos, downloading them, making gifs, etc. All I ask for in return is if you like the gif, reblog it instead of reposting it… Is that really asking for so much? Do you think I’m a power hungry, fame whoring narcissist for wanting that? I mean, seriously…
