Considering that most of the time that my posts gets more than a few notes, it is because @argumate reblogged them, I wonder if my niche in the Tumblr ecosystem is “argumate feeder blog“.
wisdom is knowing that all of Tumblr is argumate feeder blogs
Is your centrality due to joining Tumblr especially early, or to monopolizing the US nighttime posting, or some other reason?
merely because of the anthropic principle, by which I assume that any blog I don’t personally follow can’t actually exist.
It’s true - if you check the followers on any given Tumblr blog, you’ll find that Argumate is the first. This is because the blog did not exist until Argumate visited it.
