Or someone who just comments to get attention, withouth actually reading the content .lol.
Now, answering your question...
I do think it is possible to become a trend. Your post just has to be very appealing so that many people will reesteem it and upvote it.
I came here from a comment you posted on @myperfectblog . It seems like you were surprised that she got on level 37 on her second day. And you asked her how she did it.
The thing is, i for example.. am also new to steemit.. this is my 4th day, i think. And on my very fist day I jumped from 25 rep to 41 . That I believe happened because my first post got also relatively popular and i got many upvotes from it. This is it , if you want to see it for yourself.
Now, if you click on my user name and go to my “profile “ you’ll find out that i am still on level 41. And guess what my theory is...
NON of my other posts were as popular as that fist one.. and have very little upvotes on them . Thats why i am still at 41.
So, i guess that yeah, as long as you get upvoted and reesteemed, ( specially by people who are already known and followed by many) there’s a big chance it would make your post “trendy”.
I hope my explication was clear enough, lol!
See you around!
Yes very nice explanation thank you very much, so like I understand you can be stuck like at 41 reputation cause average posts but you can't go downside (or it's very difficult). Do you know if when we upvote this affect reputation?
upvoting does not affect your reputation in a bad way. it does not take down form your actual number. What helps your number grow is people liking your posts and reesteeming them . because when they re esteem it.. there's a higher chance others will see it.
