Thanks Robert. The visualization looks great. I have decided to write a SQL that checks for likes\_given distribution per user and use it to grant or withhold rewards.

The trick here is some people could come back and say - hey, I just follow these 5 people and 1 of them is a very active poster and I like this author’s work. I am not biased, I genuinely like the posts.

Lot of nuances here but only way to sort this out is by seeing how it actually works.
