RE: Creating a curation intelligence - Post 1 - What have I done so far? and Steem Veggies
Next, I'm thinking the "cause and effect" for total value vs. author reputation is backwards from the way we might think of it at first glance. High reputation doesn't necessarily produce high rewards, but rather, authors who consistently get high rewards build higher reputations.
My thoughts on this are very simple - those with high reputations often have large delegations to UpVu so both their rewards and reputations increase in parallel.
@cmp2020 - it'll be interesting to see the correlation between rewards and reputation if UpVu (and any other voting services) were removed.
Agreed. That's the sort of relationship I was thinking about, but your description is better. I was thinking the cause/effect were flipped, but that's not quite right, either. In many cases, there's another factor, having nothing to do with the "quality" or informative content of the post, that's causing both the high rewards and the high reputations.
