Thanks for sharing your views and experiences. Indeed, reputation can grow quite quickly for newbies when getting some dollars on the clock. Realise after some time, when getting to the high 50, low 60s, reputation increase requires a lot of dollars on the post to increase further. Anyway, you noticed this already, I think. In the beginning REP grows very fast with a couple of dollars, and slows down quickly when REP gets higher and higher.
