Is that why there are people on here doing nothing but down voting just to down vote to try and cut out possible competition?

Thank you for the info. That is really weird...

no. not directly of course.

Getting your content "Seen" depends on whether it gets accepted by the crowd who curates (upvotes) your post. As well as the follower count and your follower quality. Of course a person with 3000 followers gets potentially more views than that of 30 followers if both their posts are objectively of similar quality.

But would having 3000 bot followers do anything to a post at all? as compared to 30 followers whom have close connection to you and are your hardcore fans?

higher SP means you have bigger stake in the Steem reward pool (hence bigger upvote). Of course some smart users peddle this fact to get more followers, more power to them and so gets more attention to them.

Say if you are a high SP steemian that is known to upvote comments to your post that are supportive, insightful, original and reflective to the content of the post. Of course more people would pay attention to your stuff as there are incentive to engage with you.

High SP just one tool of gaining attention. Low SP does not mean you're screwed. Even minnows and planktons (super low SP) can gain celebrity if one's content is phenomenal and their personality well liked. which is why i've always told people to put more emphasis on engagement than post perfection. You may write so-so content but everyone's your friend on Steemit. It's not difficult to get the attention you wanted.

Steem apps are social media too. Humans come to this place and human laws and etiquette applies too.

When you have a big SP, people are naturally attracted to you and your blog/content because the feel they might get an upvote when they leave a comment on your posts.
So, technically, having better SP actually does makes your content being seen.

When I had 0 SP, I wasn't getting as much comments on my posts as at when my SP grew to over 1000 SP, so in a way, better SP plays a role in getting your content being seen.

Thanks for the well thought out reply, now I know more then I did. I need to grow my SP. What are some good ways at gaining more SP? Can you buy SP?

Yes,due to only one factor only you will able to see your content at top.steem power is high then you blog comes in top in everyone account due to your steemit power is good and so it is available on every account at the top of news feed.

But if your reputation score is low and your steemit power is high then all the thing you do is gone in vain because reputation score only decided where is level if your reputation score is high and you don't have good steem power then also your post can seen at top on every account.

So it doesn't mean that having a good steem power put your blog at top for that also various terms and condition apply so for that you should work on steemit as well musing without any copy paste content otherwise you will be flag with copyright content and there is no time if cheetah found you then your reputation suddenly drops so don't do copy paste work in steemit and musing on both earning and blogging platform.

Thanks for Readings

This stuff is making much more sense. Thank you :)

Better steem power (SP) help the account to get more populated account as there are lots of account who has more than 1 lac SP which are earning more than 1000$ per post so yes this could be the point that better SP helps our account to get populated and help us to get more upvotes.
With better SP you can have many option to do like you can donate your SP on delegation to any whales and it can return you with higher upvotes value as well as if whales enter into your account yu can get a better reputation .
As reputation doesnot matter in steemit but the audience are attracted more if user has a better reputation and this cone with the proper usage of voting power they have.
Steemit power you can buy from delegation from block trade and also can take sp with your cryptocurrency coins.
Better sp can make your account grow faster as you can take example of musing as it has better SP then the voting value of steemit if it upvoted with 100% will be more than 8$ per post than you can inagine better SP will get your account more populated and more rich in plenty of time.
