I've been chatting on HN and posting links for a year or two now, but I still haven't figured out what I gain by a higher karma. Sure, it's a tiny treat to see your link get popular or your number get a bit higher. But am I missing something?

It's not about karma. It's about making sure things I think are worth seeing are seen.

  That makes sense. That I didn't think about that way immediately probably says that you have a much closer relationship with the HN readership than I do. :-)
