It's not what you know it's who you know.
Today’s minnow will be tomorrow’s Whale.
Let’s connect with more Hive Owners and Build relationship.
If we take the money out of the equation then we should do something we passionate about and enjoy the Hive journey
Sorry my comments not so good
Yes, they are although I don't subscribe to all this Plancton, Minnow, Dolphin, Whale claptrap. It encourages people to believe there are levels to attain to reap bigger rewards. For me, there are four things I look at:
1. Reputation level
2. Frequency of posts
3. Interaction level (Replies etc.)
4. Rewards Levels
I can never understand why Reputation is not important to Hive users? The whole idea of it is so you know that @nathanmars is a trusted community member. :-)
I personally don't look at the Reputation number
The real reputation is Trust
You can (could?) buy your Rep.
why most people that have been here a while do not always use rep as a place of how wonderful someone is.
I never and would never "Buy" anything on Hive (That's a lie! I paid for the 'Seriously' community. LOL).
In life I have more respect for people who've earned their position over those who bought it. So I wouldn't dream of using fiat to buy Crypto to increase my influence and rewards on Hive although using Crypto to buy Crypto is OK.
Given we know 'nothing' about users surely the first thing we do is look at the information on their Bio isn't that what it is there for? So we put together two bits of important information, when they joined and what their Rep is. If it's say: Joined in 2017 with a Rep of 30 it begs the question "Why such a low rep?" now there could be a multitude of valid reasons why but ultimately it's an indication that the account is not making many ripples in the pond which is exactly my point of why Reputation is so important.
By the way, I wrote this response for general consumption not necessarily just for you. :-)
I did not buy my Rep because I happen to agree with you.
I know people that did.
was just showing the 'other side' of the coin about Rep.
I know, I didn't say you did. :-)
