RE: Is there a more useless metric than reputation?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Although reputation does not mean as much as it should on Hive I still value mine as I feel I have earned it. It is almost at 75 now. I think the algorithm favours those who get a lot of big votes from a few sources, so those who bought votes were able to build their rep score via that or self-voting. Now they cannot be lowered. At least we have the blacklist indicators to give us some idea if the account has been abusing the system.
It is not a high priority, but maybe we can have a better metric eventually. I know who a lot of the high rep people are anyway.
I have been able to lower the rep of some abusers, but I do not encounter so many these days. That is a good thing for Hive.

I value mine for the same reasons.
I don't know exactly how the algorithms work, other than supposedly each point is 1.5x harder to get than the last. I don't know how rep comes into play. I have wondered what it would happen to rep if for example I had Freedom's stake to vote with :D
I think the need is growing rapidly on all media. It will get interesting once platforms are considered publishers.
Yes, which shows the social value of reputation, as you know who are high rep without that number present, because you have been paying attention to interaction and content on the platform. If at least some of this could be accurately mapped and automated, it would be very useful for a number of purposes - not all good.
