Re:Tell HN: Political Detox Week – No politics on HN for one... by webmaven on Tuesday December 06, 2016 @06:31AM (#13113820)
Here are a few reasons someone might care:

1. Internet Points are a social signal.

2. Some HN features are restricted to users that have more than a certain number of Internet Points.

3. If you are expressing yourself in a comment with the aim of communicating, having the comment downvoted enough to grey it out (making it harder to read) will frustrate you.
