RE: Question for Steemit’s Witnesses
The reputation number reflects more than one influence.
It can be bought from bid bots, it can be bestowed on brown nosers, and destroyed by bad whales.
The best way to know who is which is to get to know them.
The highest rep on the platform was through self voting from a sock puppet account.
Most of those that bestowed reputation on their brown nosers have proven to be black hats, little wonder.
A very select few of us have our reps solely through sweat equity.
Hello @freebornangel,
So that is how some at Steem have a high reputation number.
From Lannie.
You can buy reputation, you can brown nose your way to reputation, but very few earn it in the harder ways.
It's really useless now that bots sell it.
