1500 Followers and 68 Reputation milestones, and what it means
I reached reputation 68 in these last days. I reached 1500 followers too. Wow!
What does it mean?
As regard Reputation, we know Rep is a indicator of how your posting and curating is valued by other users. It is also a way to avoid fake accounts and bots to damage good users. I'm not sure if this works as it was supposed to. Steemit Welcome Page define it so:
"A reputation score is one way Steemit measures the amount of value you have brought to the community. The higher the number, the more weighted votes an account has earned."
Anyway, you can read more about Reputation in this post.
From the same post you can see how Reputation grows up. Consider the x-axis as your global activity on Steem (if it is regular) and y as your reputation. Earning reputation is harder and harder as it gets higher.
But how people consider the Reputation of other users? I think it indicates how long one user has been active on Steem e how much he contributed in posting and curating. It's not and indicator of the quality of a single post, of course.
I like to consider an high reputation also as and indicator of decency. With exceptions, sure.
Let me say this:
Everyone is on Steem for the money. But it is not just a matter of earning money. It is also about giving and distributing money, helping worthy users, playing a role in this community.
I think this is what makes great this community. Not just the good contents or the amazing people you can find and share.
And, yes!, I want also to thank all the 1505 followers I got. (Ok, 465 of them are not active anymore, according the app DeadFollowers. ;) )
SEE YOU IN LISBON! We are in Art At Steemfest!
Complimenti Paolo! Continua così!
... e buon divertimento a voi a Lisbona!
... stavo seriamente di venire anch'io con Steemitri, ma poi le cose si sono complicate un po'.
Salutoni dalla Svizzera!

Eh, immagino che far viaggiare i manichini sia complicato! ;)
Alla prossima occasione!

Congratulations!
thank you! :)
Congratulations on reaching the milestones! I hope you and Silvia have a marvelous time in Portugal!
thx :)
Congratulation Paolo on your followers and your rep!!! I also enjoyed your thoughts about reputation on steemit. One thing is clear, reaching 68 is a good thing and it is a clear indication that you are on the right path.
I agree that nearly everyone is on steemit for the money /rewards system. I don't have a crypto wallet outside of steem, so at this point I don't think of my account as money. It is more of a facilitator for using the platform effectively. That may change at some point, but for now that's how I view it.
Have a great time in Lisbon!
:-) @roused
congrats !:)
Congrats on hitting this milestones. I have a long ways to go as I'm just hitting 52 and as it gets exponentially harders ... well lets just say I'm taking it one day at a time!
Reputation is what I go by... followers come and go (mostly go I think). I have something like 1600 or 1800, I don't even pay attention any more. Out of all the followers there are probably between 100 -200 that I call followers!
sure. 200 are a lot of people to stay in connection to almost daily.
And uses up voting power quick too!
Congrats for this awesome milestone! Thank you for the explanation of the concept.. was a bit mysterious to me so far. Envy you for going to steemfest... have fun!
Yes i have come to understand some thing,yes reputation matters but it is not the main point,but steem power. The worth of upvote count alot on steemit,it is better i focus on bulding my sp than reputation,though the two goes hand in hand
