RE: [AskSteem] What Determines SteemIt Reputation?
What determines your reputation? A combination of things:
- Accuracy of voting
- Quality of content (based on steem power-adjusted votes)
Voting accuracy means - Do the posts you upvote often become popular? The more popular they become, the more it adds to your reputation. While accurate voting can get you some reputation points, it doesn't seem to have a significant impact on your score.
It seems you can get your score up to the 35-40 range with accurate voting, but if you want to get it much higher than that, you need to produce quality content. This content can be in the form of comments or blog posts. If you get upvotes from a couple big-time whales, that will push your score up into the high 40s or low 50s. If you get flagged by a whale, it will probably bring your score way down.
In order to get into the high 50s or 60s, you'll probably need several posts to reach the trending page. By this time you will have made well over $1,000. If you produce quality content consistently for a matter of months, you could possibly reach the high 60s. The highest reputation score on steemit currently is 72.
I see the end goal as attempting to make the most robust website as possible. If reputation scores accurately represent how much value individuals bring to the platform, it allows for: Weighted votes. It helps users to sort out what is likely quality content and what is likely garbage. It also helps to decrease instances of verbal abuse, system abuse, plagiarism, etc.
Super detailed! Thank you.
This is the goal, and if the mechanism doesn't quite hit the target, it will be adjusted and the results monitored. Steemit will not devolve into the trash that is Reddit, Facebook and Twitter.
AWARD: Hello, you won this first round for best answer! The aware amount was small ,but will send it over very soon. Thanks for participating!
Awesome, thanks!
Hey guys, I haven't seen the award show up in my account yet. Have you sent it? No hurry, I just wanted to make sure nothing went wrong with the transfer.
I'm going to bundle it with the others since the amount is so small. You've won just about all the others. It will be sent shortly!
Okay, sounds great!
it was a great explanation
I learned a lot from this post. I would upvote it if it wasn't such an old post. Not sure anyone will even see my comment.
I did, and learned what I was looking for too.
And was just thinking about the conundrum of wanting to upvote the post, but not wanting to waste steem... til I found your comment, related to it, and figured a vote here might hit all the bases - lol
#Enjoy
Hahaha, perfect and thanks.
Good read. Thanks!
Since your 'score' is 68 I take that as authoritative. As someone who has several times contemplated getting on board, only to be deterred by online scepticism, I'm beginning to be persuaded that good quality contributions really might be rewarded, and this business of reputation is a further piece in the jigsaw of how that would work. The problem is getting one's foot in the door, of course, and this I intend to do by commenting constructively before posting content needing time-consuming research. Thanks for the clear information, greatly appreciated by this tyro.
