RE: User Authority - A Better Reputation System With Interesting Applications

in #steemdev6 years ago (edited)

The UA value of an account is only determined by the follow/unfollow behavior of all STEEM user. When they follow bidbots, they have a high UA and when they stop following bidbots, their UA will drop.

Following or unfollowing other users do not change the UA of an account significantly. In order to improve my UA, I have to act in the way that the number of followers increases. The best way is to this is by writing good content. For UA, it does not matter if the post is upvoted or not. It's only matters if it's read and user wan't to read more by following me.

So accounts with high UA are not followed because of their high UA; they are followed for their content.

Hey, @holger80. Thanks for responding. Okay, so to make sure I get this. You're talking about the UA of the bidbots going up and down as people follow or unfollow, right?

Okay, so it's dependent on who's following not who you follow. Okay, so in this case we're all hoping that we're being followed by those who want to read our content. Which is pretty much the way it's supposed to be now, except that it's not really. At least not in a proportional way.

Okay. So followers/unfollowers moves UA.
