Reputation is more important than you think. What you wrote down about is correct but you also wrote about the human nature. People do trust steemians with a higher reputation faster than one with only 25. While the last one could write great addition posts it is harder for them to get noticed!
Which brings me to the follower part. It is better to have 100 genuine followers tahn 1000 follow-you/follow-me followers.
Great article!

It's harder for them to get noticed because High Reputation users pay for their post's promotion and have all of the networking in place already.
Less to do with the number and more to do with the previous work that compounded on the blockchain.
