Reputation economy - and Steemit is driven by reputation

in #life7 years ago

In my last post I have written about the Language of Content. Today I want to write a bit about the reputation economy.

Way back in 2015 I read an article about the Reputation Economy. At that stage already, consumers were looking at products online before they made purchasing decisions and 90% said that they were influenced by those reviews. In addition 64% at that stage already said that their purchasing decisions were influenced by social content. 91% of recruiters check out candidates social media profiles before going further with a recruitment process.

The reputation economy

I want to repeat a short article experiment which I had in my last article:

We instinctively know that having a good reputation makes us feel good. But the link between reputation and reward is more direct and powerful than you might think. In 2008 the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Aichi, Japan, mapped neural responses in the brain to different rewards. One reward was financial - subjects played a card game and were rewarded with money for winning.
The second was reputational - subjects were shown a picture of their face with a positive or negative description underneath, supposedly written by their peers. When the subject’s brain was monitored it showed that the brain responded in exactly the same way to the financial reward as it did to positive reputation.

We care about our online reputation

A very interesting fact is that the younger generation care about this much more than the older generation.

We are seeing a generational shift in the perceived value and importance of an online reputation.

Important point: Make sure you build a good reputation on Steemit. This will be beneficial in the long term.

Happy Steeming!

Thanks for the advise - I belong more to this group of old guys that seem to work on the awareness i should care more about reputation then :-)

Indeed, reputation is really priceless. To me it is equal to financial reward and even everlasting. It's the manifestation of an idea that affects reality and as such, it's tremendously powerful. I

What a great read!

Thanks a lot :)

good name is even better than riches

@jacor do you mind if I share this article to my blog off-site? I would run the first paragraph and link back to your article on STEEMIT and your profile. Let me know.

Hey @sku77-poprocks. No prob go for it :)

Thanks for that great advice and yeah, reputation means a lot and has a direct connection with reward on steemit. One might not be able to earn some level of reward on steemit based on certain reputation.

For instance its a rare to see a 25 steemit REP trending on the trend page. Aside the fact that it suggest the account is new, the reputation also influence the peak where it can reach.

I guide my reputation with all my strength because it means a lot to me

I am really curious about how Rep is calculated on Steemit. 😀 😃 😄 😁 😆 Thanks for this, I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!!!

Thanks for sharing valuable advise. I think rep is priceless and crown for future. Everyone follow you if your rep is good. In real life child follow the parents character and also neighbour. They know that if they stay with high rep person they will be reputatef in the future. Like as steemit we follow the high rep person. But I don't know how to calculate the steemit rep? Can anyone ans me??

Hi @currentnews, I am not sure about the inner workings of the Steemit Reputation of the formula. I do believe it when somebody with a higher ranking than you vote for your posts it might have a positive effect on your rep. Let me ask around and feedback to you later. Thanks for the comment.

Very good freinds.
