Rep is determined by an algo, even my dummy iphone account has a rep of like 48 with minimal effort.
There's a lot of normal people/losers that will follow/upvote a pretty girl. It takes someone special to not only engage with their following but also reward thoughtful posts whether good or bad with upvotes to keep the engagement. And I think it's more profitable in the long run because you're rewarding people who invest in you. And a lot of them are suckers and will be loyal fans for your attention. #foodforthought
