It's the culmination of downvotes (reduces) and boosts. Much easier to get downvotes than boosts though. Idk why the upvotes (favorites) don't count. Maybe that will be a change soon
That seems very one sided, and like it's easy to get fake rep by just posting to a boost mag and having everyone boost you. Most people besides content creators seems like they well end up in the red, I mean are many people boosting comments? probably not, more boost are going to go to content creator which rewarding content creators is good, but in theory if they are making good content that should be rewarded with interaction and new views, not by making it so it's hard for people that are more commenters (which you also need for a functioning website) to be seen as positive.
also guess that means for now I am gonna focus on boosting content I like.
Yes, it definitely needs to be changed. After the boost <-> fav switch, this indicator doesn't make sense anymore.
Ah fantastic to hear from the boss, thanks for all the hard work, loving kbin so far!!
