I do believe your rep does matter but only if your posts deliver true quality content.
This is a bit chicken / egg for me. If I do a post, I'm not that bothered about how beautifully set-out it is when there's a good chance no-one will read it. But as things develop, hopefully my account will grow and then I'll be motivated into making things look x much better. Language-wise, I've always been a bit of a grammar-nazi so hopefully most of my posts will be easy enough to read.
I'd love to see the end of all the bots, personally. Well, maybe not resteemable. Who I absolutely adore! ;)
