The only thing I care about my reputation score is that it's not negative, because that would affect the visibility of my posts in a bad way.  Beyond that, I think that someone's reputation score is not an accurate indicator of the quality of that person's content.  Here's why:

- The reputation score itself is a reflection of an individual's activities across the entire Steem blockchain, not any one individual site or dApp.  That means that where one person gets their reputation from may not align with another person might expect, depending on which sites they use and how often.  When we see that big number on a user's profile page on Steemit, we don't know if that's all from blogging on Steemit, asking and answering questions on Musing, posting videos on Dlive, posting memes on Dmania, or some combination thereof.

- Reputation score can be manipulated significantly in several ways.  A user can purchase upvotes from bidbots and other vote sellers, and the values of those votes will influence that user's reputation in a positive way, regardless of the actual quality of that user's content and/or comments.  Also, a large orca or whale can use their SP and repeated votes to push another user's reputation way up or way down depending on the whale's perception of the target user and without regard to whether or not the general public would see such a move as justified.  Perhaps the two most notable incidents of this involve (1) the user that currently has the highest reputation score on the blockchain, and (2) the whale whose main account once had a reputation in the 60s, got dropped in one shot by a Steemit Inc. employee to the -10s, and then got back up to the 60s.

Those are the main reasons why I don't judge others by their reputation score.  Instead, I read through some of their content before I make my own independent judgment on what kind of user I think they are.  As for myself, I'm not setting any reputation goals.  If I get to 60 or 65 before the end of the year, great.  If I don't, I'm not going to sweat over it.
