I did not know that but I'm glad they did. Displaying "internet points" causes herd mentality to propagate and removes critical thinking or at least diminishes one's capacity to genuinely listen to one's own feeling. The same goes beyond intellectual content; ditto for creative content (e.g. YouTube videos) etc.
