I was at around 60 on Steem and on Hive around 2020. Now that is is almost 2022, since the hardfork in 2020, my Steem REP was 60 until it went down to 59 a month ago. Something like that.

Meanwhile, on Hive, during those same 24 months or less, my Hive REP went from like 60 to 64. Well, I might be a little off with the exact numbers because I joined Steemit in 2017 and I got up to 60 or close it around like 2018 or 2019. So, I've felt like I've not made a lot of progress since then in some ways.

And I've had REP brought down a few points a few times each year due to downvotes. I was put on blacklists a few times and I begged them to take me off.

So, I've experimented with the settings a few times and I came up with the belief that SP would be the biggest thing to influence REP. And I know REP is based on this other number that is rather big. I forget what it is called. I forget what the formula was for creating that number. But according to some people, REP is a smaller number that represents a larger number.
