The information was always there, btw.
The reputation is a direct reflection of all down- and upvotes you've ever got.
My rule of thumb was: 70 rep should have 10k HP, 75 rep 20k HP
We need people to power up, so they can start distributing rewards to keep the ball rolling and become independent of whales. But too many people act too selfish and we are still divided by rich and poor and there is no middle class.
we would both count as middle-weight accounts... and there are only a handful like us.
Yeah, the reputation was always there. Infact it's always available when you click a profile, you can immediately tell. However I think this metric just makes it simpler and it seems like it's now all in plain sight
I do agree that people need to power up more, at least they get to support those who has supported them over the years and also support upcoming creators, while the ones they've supported can also grow and in turn, support others. This way, as you've said, there's less dependence on whales.
However, it's only a few who will see it this way, without a middle class the disparity will be huge.
