• Question: If you repost instead of reblog then you stole already one note from the original uploader, and then after every note you get on your repost is stolen note from the original poster because if you would have rebloged it and your follower reblogs it from your blog then the original creator would get the note, but because you reposted it, the original uploader doesn't get anything. If you don't understand it then I draw it for you... - Anonymous
  • Answer:

    A note isn’t a tangible entity, it means nothing, the only tangible entities on Tumblr are followers.  Technically though I have never reposted something I have seen on Tumblr, if i see it on a Tumblr blog then I will reblog, but I rarely browse Tumblr for pictures, I find most of my posted items from other places on the internet that may or may not have originated from a Tumblr blog.
