There's a psychological basis for people taking pride in a difficult task learned and mastered, and many organizations take advantage of this by creating a culture that rewards this effort when put towards their own products with social status within the organization. It feels manipulative and unethical to me.

(Dare I say HN is one of them, where the effort is a curated form of elitism, and the mechanism up/down votes?)
