I'm actually pretty comfortable about being in Rep 57. Once you break that Rep 60 ceiling, people seem to expect more of you. They expect that you will care about curation, that you're going to invest heavily into bots and other automated systems for passive income, that you're going to suddenly transform into someone who cares about the platform as a platform, sell out your soul to the crypto cultists, and generally start acting like – I don't know – Jerry Bankfield.
Man, I don't want to do any of that.
My plan is to largely ignore my Reputation and focus on just doing what pleases and amuses me. If it just so happens that people with higher Reputations like what I'm doing, my Rep will go up. If it just so happens that a lot of people with lower Reputations like what I'm doing, my rep will stay where it's at.
Given the choice, I'm far more interested in playing to a wider audience. If nothing else, it ends up with more interesting comments.
Oh yeah! I can understand your position and viewpoint very well. I suspect you prolly would like to check what I've already replied to Asher a couple of comments above.
Doing what you please within the platform also amuses me big time. I find myself reluctant too to give up that freedom of movement so easily.
Though, after almost two years around here experimenting and trying to also play to a wider audience, clearly seems that I have fallen short in attract those interesting comments you are talking about also. }:)
haha
I'm enjoying this thread :)
As far as playing to a wider audience, analysis cant be too technical - If I see too much code or computations I'm out!
