6$\begingroup$ @nielsnielsen You managed to reach 53.6k rep without learning about the reputation tab on your profile, or having an answer get unaccepted in the past? That's very impressive! $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 29, 2021 at 22:44

3$\begingroup$ @niels how so? I've had tonnes of my answers get "unanswered" throughout the network, yet don't have more than 20k on any one site. Your answers must have been very good (I haven't looked at them yet, but if they've all survived this long without ever getting preferred by a newer answer, It's impressive!) $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 30, 2021 at 0:41

$\begingroup$ @user1271772, Some of the high earners here have a disparaging attitude about those like me who do not know all the ins, outs, and features of the SE sites. In that regard I am woefully ignorant, and I guess I am lucky to have had only one accepted answer get unaccepted. BTW much of my current "earnings" come from old answers getting upvotes so I am lucky in this way as well. I should be counting my blessings! $\endgroup$ Commented May 1, 2021 at 20:29
