Other people's reputation has nothing to do with your reputation. Even my 0.01 upvote will raise your rep a little bit. Berniesanders upvoted my comment when his rep was just -16. It significantly increased my rep. Even @s4s's rep is just 25. So don't go behind high rep accounts, instead look at their SP. It is evident that anyone can buy rep. So 55+ rep won't attract big whales
I would say reputation has nothing to do with you being accepted. Be real and make quality contents. Use proper tags. There are a lot of ways to earn without expecting these bots. ROI is always minus. If it is from organic upvotes, 100% is your profit.
Bro it's matters. I understand the way you are explaining. A person told me this because he already experienced it. I only try to write original and something own. I can produce 2 to 4 article a day but i don't because I know it's hard to maintain quality and uniqueness in our post.
