I think it's pretty likely that both SP & Good Content attract a following. They both make a splash, and they're both hard to ignore. If someone creates / crafts / writes something really inspiring and gets a strong dialogue building -- they garner a lot of attention. The same can be said for someone with a lot of SP or some kind of 'celebrity' type status.

EDIT : now that I think about it for another minute, I had initially considered that what brought me to comment here was more related to Sp. However, I suppose it could be said that what actually brought me here, was that I noticed you had voted on a couple of my climbing related posts, so maybe that speaks more to your point than I thought.

Now I'm just confusing myself.
