I've found the internet to be a pretty generous community.. of course with any community, there are bad actors that will attempt to commodify that generosity by subtly asking for more and more, all the while profiting on the generosity of humans as a whole. Stack overflow needs to start paying it's workers.

Not just the score, but you can give examples of how you answer questions for people of different skill levels. The work I've done on SO, which is frankly insignificant compared to many users, has enhanced my hire-ability as a lead or manager.
