- endisneigh 4y agooh I agree. I don't want to care about internet points. yet, there it is.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoIn general, it's not about accumulating points, it is about feeling heard, seen, or valued. I have never checked my account total, but frequently look at post points to see if others are reading or getting value, particularly if there are no comments. I'd rather be contributing than speaking into a void. I could write my HN comments on paper in my office, but don't because I like participating in a dialog or conversation.
- randomdata 4y agoI'd rather have a richer analytics system, but I'll take it over no analytics. It is beneficial to know that someone has consumed your work. There is no fun in speaking to the void.
