Thank you this post helping to explain this new entity. I have a question: I got down voted by someone shortly after I hit reputation level 59. Before that my reputation was increasing steadily, but it seems to have only crawled upward since then even though I have upvoted of 1-2$ from people with rep of 70 or higher. Do you know why?
Thanks
It's not because of that downvote, it's just because of scale of reputation. ELI5: Each next level is much, much harder to get.
