What's the point (pun intended) though? HN points don't net you anything. Except the first 500 maybe.

I often roll a fresh account for privacy and the amount of points really don't bother me.

But my point (sorry) is, why would someone even bother?

There's the leaderboard. Though the one time I noticed I'd showed up on it (others have long since overtaken me), it felt more like a warning I was spending too much time here.

I didn't know there was a leader board but now that I've looked at it I'm kind of disgusted by the fact that 20-ish percent of it is made up of names that are recognizable in an "oh, it's that guy who's always posting low effort links or riding the coat tails of a popular comment" way.
