Awesome and very insightful thoughts here my friend, in addition to their rep, I also look at the number of posts, they have, that number also includes comments, so you know that the folks with really high ones are super involved engaging with the community, it's a grind for SURE!

Each rep point is 10x harder to get than the last, so the diference between 69 and 70 is much more of a gap than 29 and 30- keep up the great work <3
