OK makes sense. Are you seeing results in terms of steem? You have a very high reputation (71), does that translate into more steem?

I think that is dependant on your followers and quality of posts. You get the same amount of steem as anyone else just depends on the votes you get

OK so if your followers have high reps you get a high rep?

I think you're rep increases more if higher level to folk vote for your posts but I could be wrong

OK yeah I think you are right, but not sure how that helps you.

Rep only really helps if you are flagging or being flagged I think

OK makes sense so the real thing is upvotes and how much steem the person who upvotes you has. Maybe rep also helps your posts get into the high steem people's feeds... I wonder.
