So you're saying you're here for internet points exclusively? What's the exchange rate of those to USD again?

The Hacker News platform actually goes to great lengths to avoiding the reception of upvotes as a motivation for posting, and I'd recommend also de-prioritizing the importance of internet points and to instead rely on intrinsic motivation.

And yet, there are upvotes and they’re displayed to the poster. Also, I used the word ostensibly to imply I may personally have some other motivation. But in either cases, the broader point still stands: there are diminishing marginal returns to being more correct.
