Sep 9, 2017 at 4:58 comment added batFINGER @AzulShiva add to that prevalence of the "meh" factor. Consider the amount of 0 voted ("meh") questions that have generated interest both in comment and answers. If treated a bit more positively with more up-votes the occasional spite down-vote wont matter all that much. Compare to votes in meta where time of writing this comment there are 21 collectively in q & a in less than a month. (even with Elimazz's DV ). So many of these issues come down to the "wedge"... vote more.

Aug 21, 2017 at 23:52 comment added bertmoog @AzulShiva - That's an interesting take on this. I would say, though, that the points aren't useless. Apart from helping to ensure a certain level of technical precision and completeness in answers and questions, they can be used to "purchase" help from users on particulars problems you're having, and it has the potential to be a plus on a resume.
Aug 21, 2017 at 7:42 comment added AzulShiva The human brain is an extraordinarily bizarre thing. You're on the internet, anonymous and nobody knows you, so you shouldn't care anyway, and the master overlord gives you points for your hard work, numbers, scores; they won't get you friends, you can't buy anything, they are useless. But you work hard for them and because they are the only representation of your hard work people fight and argue over them, back stab each other and if the system was rigged for it, yes, people would kill each other over these points. If somebody could really answer your question, there would be no more wars.
