RE: Change the Reputation algorithm or else get rid of it - It is ridiculous as it is

in #steemit7 years ago

I dont get why reputation cannot equal steem power. Isnt it the same concept as a master node? The more you have at stake the more trustworthy and therefore reputable you are.

Sort:  

It doesnt exactly work that way. the reputation is loosely a function of others' approval of you in the community, ideally that is, but following a conversation i had with some one more knowledgeable about its genesis....a major original purpose of it was was more 'mathematical' than perceptive. What do i mean? It was mean to hide or keep visible content...the exact explanation is more along that line.

Thanks
