Thank you for putting it in Layman terms for us @arcange! I'm still not entirely convinced I deserve to have the reputation I do at this point, but computers always compute things correctly right?
This was a terrific run down, I was looking for something like it just last night, so very timely for me! Thank You!!
:-) I was sitting yesterday with a friend of mine who has same reputation as you with less than 20 posts but a few got some serious whale upvotes, i guess that speeds things up seriously :-)
Did you maybe had a few posts like that?
I had a story curated by @curie that went to trending and paid out at $140, that was a lot of it. I have a meme paying out at $115 tomorrow, so yeah, couple of one offs.
I'm not saying I'm not happy to have the Steem coming in, very appreciative of that, but I feel like I am still too new to this game to be over 50.
I would love to know how much these big payouts bumped your rep. I'm more on the hunt for sp, but rep and sp are tied together so I guess I want both :)
yeah I am not sure how it all works. it has something to do with the rep of the people who upvote you too. The higher their rep the more it bumps you or something.
I just post what I post. Some gets traction, some wallows. I'll just keep on keeping on. haha
Oh! I had not heard about the rep of your upvoter as an aspect of this before.
I'm an accountant and researcher, so I can't stand it when I don't understand things. Steemit pushes my buttons all day long :)
