My view is that more important is that rewards stay on steem blockchain and they are not cashed out. But even in that case somebody else will buy it and bring steem back. If I upvote myself my steem power go up and when later on upvote somebody else his reward is bigger to. Or if I upvote just my friend. His upvote is worth more and he can reward other people more. So long term I think that this will not be a problem. Upvote you self doesn't look good but have little impact on whole steemit community. My thoughts anyway. But I could be wrong. I don't know.
Yeah, there are a lot of factors involved when accessing an accounts behaviour, but on a case by case basis, I think it's usually pretty clear if an account is adding or subtracting value to/from the community. I think the take away is... Accounts that seek to add value to the community at large will be more successful than accounts that don't.
Looks like you'll be at 38 in no time. Steemwhales shows your reputation to 1 decimal place so it's easier to see how close you are to the next number. The reason it shows as 38.0 there already is because it calculates your rep a little differently. So a few more up votes on Steemit and you'll be there!
Hey Dan, wondering if you could explain how reputation impacts voting power and rewards. In your video you talk about having higher rep with the new hardfork means a need for more responsible voting. I haven't personally seen anything where it says your rep influences your vote power. I've only seen that the amount of SteemPower you have will influence your vote. So now I'm confused, do both rep and SP influence voting power?
In your video you talk about having higher rep with the new hardfork means a need for more responsible voting.
Not quite, I believe I said that having more "influence" (not rep) means more responsibility.
The rep system is mostly unrelated to SP. So you can buy influence but you can't buy rep.
This is correct:
I haven't personally seen anything where it says your rep influences your vote power. I've only seen that the amount of SteemPower you have will influence your vote.
Rep mostly impacts the platform from a social perspective... and I don't believe that HF 19 changed anything about Rep (so now I see why this video might have confused that issue a bit)
The main point is... given a user's greater influence with respect to post-HF19 voting power distribution, reputation becomes more important from a social/community perspective
i.e.. If you have no influence and you're voting poorly then the community can just ignore you... but if you do have influence and you're voting poorly than the community will eventually act against you (via not voting for you or even flagging you) lowering you reputation
Right now your account is $5. Don't you want a whale to come see an awesome post you wrote and upvote you 100% instantly giving you $200? Well that won't happen if everyone is just upvoting their own comments and posts and collecting the money themselves. The self regulating structure of this community needs to be reworked with HF19. The blockchain can't make everything fair. We, as its participants, have to set a new moral foundation to preserve the essence and longevity of this community. While HF19 was a positive thing, it made the site more susceptible to schemes that could harm it. Dan is exactly right. Social rules have to guide us now more than ever.
Steemit isn´t perfect, not sure if it works at all.
You could just transfer your coins to another account and upvote your posts, no one will notice (or to mulitple)
I joined steemit because I think we need to decentralize all major platforms (like facebook, google, amazon) but I´m not sure if this steemit is really working in the long term. Any one that can correct me on that ?
Correct! There is nothing wrong with upvoting your own post. But let's say you leave 10 short comments a day and self vote them all at 100%... this is probably not to the benefit of the community. Also... no one person says what is right or wrong to do... the community as a whole will decide organically over time.
Helpful video. How can you tell if someone flags you? I always get worried when i post something that I am not doing it right and therefor going to get flagged.
Thanks for the info.. Can you tell me if the "flag" is why your former $$Amount (that someone voted to you) goes down after a while? Is that because someone else "flagged" you? Is that what "downvoting" is?
Flagging will make your payout go down... but that's probably not why your payout is going down... if you've been flagged you'll see 1-3 little dots in the upper right hand corner of your post that look like this:
Right now pending payout are going down because hardfork 19 is recalculating rewards over a 30 day period and this could continue for a few more weeks before payouts start to stabilize. (simplified answer) But we'll get there!
Also if the price of STEEM falls your pending payout will also drop. Or it will go up is the price rises.
You are so AWESOME for explaining that! Aww man, I thought I was getting on certain people's nerves 'all the time' -- ha ha.. Now, I can tell when I am and when it's finance related.
This will be important to preserve the great vibe of steemit-community. To me personally the big insight was, that at least one ideal is realized with decentralized networks: there is in fact enough for everyone. It is not a mindset known in many other systems, definitely not in the old economy... That's why it takes a while to understand and adapt. It is something we have to get used to.
If i spend an hour or more on a post, i'm slapping my 50 cent up-vote on it and not feeling bad. It's the self-voting of every comment that could lead to reward pool disaster.
Good to see more ethical big hitters making these points though.
Everyone wants whales to see them but since hardfork19 it's going to be much harder since many will just upvote themselves and there's fewer votes too.
Thanks for the video. This info is really helpful for us newbies who are getting the hang of how to navigate the different features of the community. It takes many hours of research or on the ground training to start to pick up these tidbits.
This is a really good post and one that every new community member should see b/c it covers a very important topic. Everyone has to find that mix that benefits the community and themselves they're comfortable with.
Thank you for explaining that. I am learning something everyday. Maybe I better find if there is a blog called, the etiquette of Steemit or something like that.
Thanks @dan-atstarlite for explaining the "ropes" on reputation. I'm new, so I am still trying to absorb all the different terminology and how it relates to posting and commenting.
I'm looking forward to other video explainers from you! I like your style and concise explanations.
Thanks so much for this post!
Im new so still learning about Steemit.
can i ask is it more beneficial when you upvote other peoples posts or when people upvotes yours? because when I check my steem power it seems to go down after i vote. I recently have been upvoting my posts on peoples pages just to bring it to the top and to get noticed my have told that's not good so i have stopped but I thought that would be helping for both of use to get paid.
Any help will be appreciated thanks dude!
Oh Damn I forgot u can't add monetary value with an upvote after payout. Well, u have my vote anyway for such decent help. I've gone through a few of your videos so far and I'm finding that u are explaining steemit details the best so far. The videos are clear and concise. Thank you!

I am searching for helmets to combat against such controls... lol
I want to be the "divergent" like in the movies...hehehe :D
Why not upvote your own post ? In my opinion that´s ok.
Right now your account is $5. Don't you want a whale to come see an awesome post you wrote and upvote you 100% instantly giving you $200?

flagging isn't very common. if you've been flagged you'll see 1-3 little dots in the upper right hand corner of your post that look like this:
you've never been flagged;)

Influence is power.
Thank you my brother :)
How can it go down ?
When your posts get flagged ?
Correct
This really helped me since I'm new and just found out what HF19 did for the community. Exciting times!
Yeeah right to the point !
Thanks so much this is really helpful!😁
Could someone please explain briefly what the hardfork 19 means?
It's just an upgrade/change in the code

Great video Dan. People will notice for sure and there will be people who screw themselves.

Thanks for this! I wasn't sure how reputation worked before.
This is awesome! I just got started and didn't know that... only at 55 in three weeks. Will be working on my Rep 😀😬
Thanks for the information! This will help a newbie like me!
Thanks for sharing @ dan-atstarlite::)
Super informative!!! :)
Thank you for the video Dan. I belive so much in this community, and what your saying makes so sense to me.

Way to go @dan-atstarlite
You have MUCH wisdom and talent and the look as well as a harmonious voice that resonates with the Steemit Community.
Keep STEEM N ON,
