No, that's a great answer. Contribution based karma system seem more value-driven than a popularity based (or only) upvote platform. That's really what we are trying to address. We see the problem as social media visibility is based on popularity - despite the fact that the popularity doesn't ensure quality. Afterall group think isn't necessarily a good thing... Emerging social media and news platforms try to identify quality content but their quality metrics are based on popularity. Thoughtly approaches the problem by accounting for users written contributions online. By quantifying users' personal data - from sites like Stackexchange and Quora we display an individual's involvement in a field. This allows you to objectively compare perspectives from different kinds of people. Think, "actions speak louder than words." Well, we finally for the first time in human history have enough data from disparate sources that we can rely on actionable data and not just resumes and mildly subjective about me sites. I'd be happy to discuss it further and thanks for your interest. I hope you check us out. We are launching to iOS soon - the app is approved, now we are polishing the backend data sources.
