Another great post and Interesting view on Rep on Steemit.
Earning my respect is difficult as I am on guard to the various fraudsters that are out there - on Steemit and in life. Keeping my trust and respect also takes time, but it doesn't take effort (I'll freely give it to the worthy) Suck holes and cheaters will come out in the wash. Systems will always be exploitable and so we should never trust them blindly....My view is don't be a mug and just upvote people - upvote content instead. I tend to agree the rep thing doesn't really work as it should.
It was broken from the start tbh and it never really had much to do with quality, just support.
