<p>My reputation rose at about 1 per month. This is from daily posts with a constant supply of upvotes from communities and services that I subscribed to. And of course, thanks to my followers and supporters. </p><p>Musing upvotes contributed about 30-40% of them which I think was great. I get more statisfaction and appreciation by answering musing questions. This is better than commenting on others posts and trying to gain their reciprocal. </p><p>With dapps like musing, I think the steem experience had changed greatly. In the past, one needs to go after whales and network to gain support. But now, by actively participating in dapps and contributing valuable contents, one can also gain a decent earnings. I think this is good for the ecosystem and hope to see more of dapps getting the regconition and support form STINC. </p>
