You right, just like here, on HN, with this comment that I'm writing you all right now, hoping that it won't get downvoted, or that I won't get laughed at, because I'm smart dammit, and I have 1300 points that I don't want to lose.

But then there's so many others like me who don't give a damn about these points, mostly because they mean very less in this community. Yes, you could collect more points by writing smarter factual stuff but the same can also be done by writing stuff that appeals to a certain section of the people and these people have the loudest voices (mostly active on the site).

I'm new to HN though and I'm curious if someone can change my mind.
